Outstanding African-American Fiction Award winner, Guilty Pleasures is an unpredictable story that captures the challenges of love, life, and social drama that Simone Miller encounters on her journey for self-preservation and emotional fulfillment in all the wrong places. As her life unfolds, many other characters come to light and a microcosm of the human race is seen. This work of fiction is actually a deep look into what draws us to self-destructive behaviors, failed relationships, and to be consumed by a desire for love from all the wrong places. Guilty Pleasures reverberates with painful truths about how we lead our lives and points us to a way of renewal with its words of wisdom and inspiration. Simone helps us reconcile with and appreciate that one person deep within. Guilty Pleasures entertains, opens the eye, raises self-awareness, encourages self-esteem, and guides readers to a path of closure and a sense of renewal. It takes readers beyond the drama and delivers a message: Learning to love yourself is a journey that starts within.
