SLAM
THE TRICK
Gale White and her two best friends, Myesha and Sinthia
are having good lives. Each week they gather to play a lively game of cards and take pleasure in each other’s
company. They are successful African American women who are all enjoying healthy romantic and sexual relationships
with their men.
Six months later, all that changes....
One by one, the men in
their lives dump them, divorce them, steal their money, betray their vows and obliterate their hope. Then
they do something worse: They all assume relationships with white women.
The ladies are left holding
the bag to this dirty little African American secret that has found black women rejected and adrift in the harsh sea of modern
relationships.
Gale and her friends are tired of sucking it up, looking the other way and pretending that there isn’t
a problem. So in their grief, they do more than get mad.
They Slam The Trick.
Three women cross the bright
line of propriety and exact a clever and poignant retribution that goes from the core of their emotional pain to a greater
discovery of themselves.
Slam The Trick is a wickedly comic novel that takes
an unflinching look at interracial relationships and the social and emotional fallout that has been behind sealed lips.
It is a funny and moving story of love, race, sex, and personal triumph.
This a comedy so here are some the quotes I like: “You can have all the white
women you want. You can have white ass coming out of your ass and you will still be who you are.”
I don’t wanna hear that mean black woman stuff. I’m
the sweetest bitch I know
“A man is about as complicated as a rubber ball.
It’s muthafuckin’ rubber and it’s a muthafuckin’ ball.”
She would never do
this for him. When he’d asked her, her lover’s response was “How would you like me to
stick something up your ass?”
