Cousins

About the Book

Since Molanda’s divorce, she has been a virtuous woman in order to retain the respect of her teenage son, Rockean. Secretly, she has been praying to God for her Boaz. Unbeknown to Molanda, the good Reverend Isaac Joshiea has come to town on a mission. As he takes the pulpit and places his Bible on the podium he scans the congregation and his eyes rest upon Molanda — he is moved. He asks God for confirmation as their eyes lock. Her jealous sister, Neola, watches Molanda shift her full hips in her seat as she begins to fan herself. Noticing Molanda’s reaction, Neola believes that the Reverend could possibly take her sister away from her. Neola survives off of the love, affection, and attention that Molanda dotes upon her at all costs. No, she wasn’t quite sure she was ready to share Molanda regardless of how long her sister had been without a man. Neola knew she would have to devise a plan to get the Reverend’s attention off of Molanda and on to her and whatever way Neola needed for that to happen she didn’t have a problem with.

She is the author of Angel Fire, Cousins, Déjà vu Desires, Letters, and Them’s Eve’s Daughters. Although a Bronx, New York, native, Marrissa received much of her inspiration for writing from the more than 35 years she has spent living in Greensboro, North Carolina. Dr. Dick began writing romance novels while attending Shaw University, where she majored in Business Management and graduated with the distinction of Magna Cum Laude. Enthralled by the idea of lifelong learning, she pursued the master’s degree in Adult Education with a Specialization in Training and Development from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. She earned the doctoral degree in Educational Studies and Cultural Foundations with a Specialization in Cultural Studies and a minor in Communication Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Dr. Dick enjoys spending time with her family, attending church, teaching, and writing Christian romance. Her favorite biblical quote is Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
