Synopsis:

A Delicious, Eye-Opening Look at the World of Upper-Class Black Manhattanites; This no.1 Blackboard best-seller was voted as one of the top ten books of the year by the Los Angeles Times, and is now finally available in a mass-market edition! Alice Andrews has her hands full living in Manhattan, working as a reporter in Newark, and trying to forget the smooth-talking investment banker she thought was Mr. Right. When she meets Jack Russworm, a handsome, third-generation Harvard-educated doctor, it seems as though things are finally falling into place. But as their romance starts to heat up, their differences start bubbling to the surface. Clair, Jack's mother, is as cold as ice, and Jack's ex-girlfriend, Sherry Steptoe, is a constant reminder of everything Alice is not. With all these pressures threatening their romance, will Alice and Jack be able to sizzle together, or will Alice just get burned?
