Pink & patent leather : : when the fall from the pedestal isn't far enough : a novel /. Fresno, TX : Brown Girls Publishing, 2014. 214p. : 21 cm. Sasha "Pink" Jansen has heard the voice of God. He spoke loud and clear at her purity ceremony, when she was just sixteen years old and Pastor Malik Stroman placed that ring on her finger. And He was just as clear when He told her that purity ring would someday be replaced with a wedding ring from the same man ... all Pink had to do was save herself. Dreams of a life with Pastor Malik were enough to keep the privileged princess committed to her vow, dodging all kinds of temptation, resisting every romance, and the whole time, keeping her eyes on the prize--the day she would become first lady. There's just one problem--Pastor Malik already has a wife. But Pink is accustomed to getting what she wants--by any means necessary. With her grace and virtue on the line--and what she thinks is God's word in her head--Pink is on a mission no one understands. She's determined to show Pastor Malik that they belong together--and come hell or high water, she plans to get the good reverend to agree. Candy Jackson has penned a page-turning tale of one-woman's quest for love and the spiraling descent she'll take to get it" --Page 4 of cover. 20150303. Man-woman relationship Fiction.
