Finding Ntozake Vonna Ivory Joseph

We do the "right" things for those we love. But, sometimes we wake and find ourselves wanting something more. And most times that something is simply freedom: Freedom to have Frosted Flakes and red wine for dinner. Freedom to buy a pink couch and plop it dead center in your living room. Zaye Curry had it all. She had a great family. She married her one and only love. She raised a respectable young man, who attends one of the nation's top universities, and a powerful career in fashion and publishing. She always followed the rules, played it safe and kept up appearances; until it hurt too much. Not wanting to spend another year keeping up appearances, she builds up the courage to leave her perfectly positioned and loveless marriage, to find her own version of freedom. Only days after moving into her very own dream home and a few minutes browsing, Living Social she buys herself a hip hop dance class; where she meets a young, wealthy rapper named Kemani Black. Kemani's brash, controversial and thirteen years her junior, but she can't deny his irresistible charms. With her newly found freedom and her girlfriends rooting her on, she sets about a twisty turny journey to rebuilding her relationship with her parents, redefining her idea of success and most importantly to Finding Ntozake.
