Then her rescuer came along and pulled her out of the mud of the train yard and set her under the hot, dazzling lights of a stage. But would her savior be the reason for her ultimate downfall?

Cherry Winslow escapes an abusive father by marrying an indifferent husband, Gideon. Still, Cherry is determined to be the best wife she can in the leaky one-room shack they called home.

Regan soon proves he is no savior and, for the first time, Cherry has the chance to save herself. But can she build her future before she is destroyed by her past?

What are reviewers saying about Sweet Honesty?

"Sweet Honesty by Lee James is a romance novel that has a plot so swirled and dynamic, it feels like a mystery, a crime novel and a love story all in one." Tiffany

Alycia says...
"What makes this novel really strong is its main character, Cherry. Indeed, she is lovable because of her strength in some aspects of her life and weaknesses in other ones. Thanks to this woman, the author has perfectly described the life of women at the time. That was not easy for them, even more for a black woman, but this story shows that they could find a way to live a better life and I think it can still have an echo with our current society, in some ways."
