The Goode Sisters Takesha Powell

When they were little girls, Kamilah and Denise were always at each other's throats. The fact that they were sisters didn't matter to either one of them. Years later, as they meet at Mama's funeral, they realize not much has changed. Denise is still living her life, hating the ghetto she came from while Kamilah refuses to leave it. The Goode Sisters explores what happens when two strong African-American women dig up dirt on each other, name call and fight in the name of jealousy and deceit. But a deep, dark family secret threatens to pull both sisters into a sleazy, sordid underworld that they may not be ready for. They hash out feelings on everything from the boardroom to the bedroom to how hard it is to still find a good Black man. This humorous novel explains why 'sistas' just can't seem to get along.
