The Tapestry of A. Taylor

When young Brie Taylor flees from her husband, she hides in a dangerous neighborhood far across the huge city and from the wealthy area of which she is familiar only to find that the challenges she faces may be too great to bear. Brie has a strategy to overcome this new impoverished life; however, just months into her plan, it begins to disintegrate and she is faced with hurdles that threaten to destroy her.
As a single mother from teen pregnancy, Brie is swept into a story-book marriage, only to find it is a façade for her husband’s secret life. After a fateful night of his abuse, Brie escapes with her daughter from their affluent, white neighborhood and finds herself on the opposite side of the city in a dangerous area where she is the minority. Brie’s only solace is her boss, Annie Mae, a larger-than-life black woman who both strengthens Brie and prods her toward her destiny.
Brie’s life up to this point has been one of victimization. Now she must find the courage to live the life she purposely chooses despite the unexpected, colossal setbacks she faces along the way. Her struggle to succeed inspires others and exemplifies that the human spirit can triumph over incredible hardships with God’s grace, supportive friends, and a strong will.
Filled with humorous antidotes and heart-wrenching insights, this book will take you into a world that sheds light upon real-life discrepancies between right and wrong, prejudice and acceptance, fulfillment and longing.
