Brilliant and vibrant, Marcella Jones had the whole world in her hands, until she gave her heart to the wrong man. Tyrone was handsome and charismatic, but he left her destitute, raising two small children alone--and yearning for the kind of life her dead-end job will never provide. Marcella's elder sister, Racquel, lives in a fine home, has a fulfilling career and the love of Kevin, her handsome, successful, supportive husband. Yet her desperate longing for a child is driving her into a deep depression, and away from Kevin.

As different as night and day, Marcella and Racquel are so hungry for what the other has, they are tearing their lives apart. Only with each other's help can they heal the hurt and celebrate the joy of everything that's been given to them.

At turns heartbreaking and hilarious, Here And Now marks the return of a wise and fiercely passionate new voice in African-American fiction.

"Kimberla Roby is a true writer, a storyteller at the top of her game. With unforgettable characters like Marcella and Rachel, Here And Now reminds readers about their own lives." --Eric Jerome Dickey, bestselling author of Liar's Game

From the Author:

I am so grateful to all of you!!!
First, I'd like to thank all of you for your continued dedication and support of my first novel, Behind Closed Doors. My latest work, Here and Now, centers around two sisters who believe their lives would be much more satisfying if they could switch places with each other, and I truly hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I look forward to receiving your e-mail messages, and I wish all of you the best possible in the future.

Many blessings always,

Kimberla Lawson Roby
