From the moment of their first embrace, Jada is sure Wellington is the soul mate she has waited for. But while Jada and Wellington's love is exhilarating, they find themselves facing challenges they never could have imagined--from Melanie Thompson, bright, beautiful, and talented--but hungry for the love she has never had. . .and from Cynthia Jones, Wellington's overbearing socialite mother, who believes Jada will never fit into her circle of aristocratic friends. Ultimately Jada is forced to make difficult choices--choices that send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. For while she learns painful lessons about love, trust, and commitment, she also discovers deep emotional strengths in herself. . .along with the courage to celebrate the joy each day can bring--with or without the man she loves. Earthy and outrageously entertaining, "Soul Mates Dissipate" is laced with sharp-tongued humor and piercing insights. Mary B. Morrison joins bestselling authors like Terry McMillan in bringing the sweet, soulful, and totally uncensored voice of the African-American woman to readers everywhere!
