In Sunshine on Sunday, the 5th book in The Black Diamond Series, Teenie Carlson and her crew are high school graduates, eager to embrace their independence. Armed with their trademark charisma, sass, style and wit, the journey includes college for some, heartache for one, new love, additions to the tight friendship circle, and a controversial discovery for one of the tribe members.

With Lori Perkins serving as their navigational moral compass, Teenie, Maria, Rashanda, Justine and Grace are poised to pave their way linked arm in arm. While on their personal paths of self discovery, the ladies are surprised to learn that (like them) their mothers are complex women who crave friendship and love. Readers will cheer and relate when a parent reinvents herself and starts a fresh chapter in her life.

This love story is woven together like a comforting patchwork quilt with each patch representing ingredients for a fulfilling life: love, family, friends, purpose, courage and self-respect. The quilt is carefully stitched together to form the pattern that defines each girl's personal love journey.

Will the love patches and threads sewn while impressionable teens prove strong enough to comfort their fragile hearts?
