Publisher's Synopsis
Honesty is the epitome of a good woman and wife. She holds her head down and weathers one storm after another, never placing anything or anyone above her family. Fast money is the environment she was born into, all the time yearning to make a name for herself legally. The only problem is that her husband has forbid her from ever working outside of their home. While Honesty is gaining one college degree after the other she takes care of her husband, her elderly Grandmothers, her children, and all that comes along with being an official housewife. When the DEA shows up at her door her life is forever changed. Honesty's husband Darren is snatched from the family without warning leaving her in charge. Finding out Darren hasn't been all work and no play is a slap in the face for Honesty when she learns of her husband's illegitimate children. For Honesty, there is no time like the present to show the world what she has been thinking about for years. She starts Honest Investments and soars into success with every tool she taught herself. A beautiful, young woman with endless possibilities proves to be more attractive than a random in the streets. Darren is not only sick because of the time he will face away from his children, but also sick because Honesty has finally found her stance in the world. Success does not come without its own set of problems though. Which Honesty learns firsthand when she is hounded by her husband's mistress. Factor in financial problems- very quickly she faces bankruptcy over her husband's legal fees. All the while she kept a silent, even when coming to terms with ultimate deception from her best friend. Through it all, she knows that anonymity is a way of life, the only way at life. Gotta Do Me is the perfect illustration of rising above life's problems in real time without airing it out for the world to see. Beautiful. Composed. Honest. And Real.
