Talk about twists and turns! Sweeter than Honey has more than its share as best- selling author Mary B. Morrison delves into the world of prostitution, murder and drug trafficking.

Ms. Morrison introduces you to key characters: Lace, Benito, Valentino and Sunny. Still many of the other characters, like Sapphire, Summer and the “girls” are equally important to the storyline.

Set in Nevada, men pay lots of money for a woman’s company—but that’s not all they get!

There are a number of social ills that Ms. Morrison explores.

Whether she is focusing on incest, domestic abuse, drug abuse or degrading women, Ms. Morrison’s candid approach to these issues enables the reader to have a deeper under- standing about what goes on in the head of the abuser, as well as the victim.

Sweeter than Honey is the story of how many young women, because of suffering at a young age, become victims for life.

Lace wants to break free, while also taking her “girls” with her. She’s done some things she is not proud of and wants to change her life around. And just as she thinks she is going to make it, her world implodes.

In addition to poetry, Ms. Morrison’s book ends with information about her “I am Worthy Banquet. Women are encouraged to write in and tell in 500 words, why you are worthy. Writers can send their submission, along with a picture, to www.MaryMorrison.com.

Some of her other “sisters-in- pen,” like Gloria Mallette and Marissa Monteilh share their perspectives.

Additionally, a must-read is the Affirmations for Women. There are 13 affirmations that begin with “I am beautiful inside and out” and ending with “I will laugh from my heart everyday.”

Hopefully some readers will see themselves or a loved one on the pages of Sweeter than Honey. The life they save may be their own.
