I Say A Little Prayer
One month until my favorite author, E. Lynn Harris, releases his next novel...I Say A Little Prayer. For anyone that has never read his books, it's a must. His bookshelf holds titles like, "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted", "A Love of My Own", "Not a Day Goes By", "Abide With Me", Invisible Life", "If This World Were Mine", "And This Too Shall Pass", "Just As I Am", and "Any Way the Wind Blows"...okay, that was all of his titles but still. The man has skills and if you don't know, head your ass out and pick up all his books. I'm saying that because once you read one of his books, you're gonna want to read the next one. But May 2nd, it will be here and I can't wait... here's the low on "I Say A Little Prayer":
Chauncey Greer is the owner of The Cute Boy Card Company, a thriving company in Atlanta. As a teenager, he was a member of a popular boy band, but left in disgrace when word got out that he and his bandmate D had become much more than good friends. A free spirit now on the brink of forty, Chauncey has always hooked up with both men and women. With the age of the "down low" making women more cautious, however, Chauncey has been focusing on the guys.
After one too many bad dates, Chauncey finds himself in church, where the minister's message inspires him to follow his dream of a musical career once again. Although he's lost touch with D, as he starts writing songs his thoughts inevitably turn to his former lover. Chauncey's smashing performance at the church earns him a standing ovation and an invitation to participate in an upcoming revival. But Chauncey soon discovers that an ambitious fundamentalist preacher plans to use the revival to speak out against gays and gay marriage. Feeling angry and betrayed, Chauncey and other gay members of the church decide to take a stand against the church's homophobia by staging a "Day of Absence" when all of the gay members and their friends and family stay home. Everything is going as planned...until D. appears on the scene and Chauncey has to face some hard choices about his future.
I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER is filled with the plot twists, humor, and provocative insights readers expect from Harris. Like his last three novels, it is sure to rocket to the top of bestseller lists nationwide.
