ABOUT THE BOOK:
Tangerine is the third book in the Shades of Style novels.
Fans of Pink and Jade will thoroughly enjoy Tangerine, the third book in the cutting-edge Shades of Style series. Jean Guerra who is a designer at Garments of Praise, unexpectedly ends up working with her husband whom she left behind 15 years ago. Jean had given up on God once, and re-encountered Him and returned to church a year ago. As thoughts of her husband-the one she vowed to divorce and gave up on long ago continue to occur with increasing frequency, so do her God-encounters. She made the decision to give up on her husband who was in prison to concentrate on taking care of her 15 year old daughter who became pregnant unexpectedly. Jean is now raising her granddaughter Elena mainly by herself because her daughter Monica has her own problems and is unable to care for her. As Jean and her estranged husband Nigel are put to work together on a men's clothing line for Reebok they are drawn to each other. But there is also the issue of Carmen, Nigel's girlfriend, who insists on chasing him around everywhere, even though he tries to ignore her advances. Elena gets into some trouble and she realizes she can't raise her on her own, and needs to make decisions on whether to put her family back together. Also she needs to decide whether to stay at Garments of praise or move to a new job. Can her bruised heart become whole enough to love again? Or will she remain in the trenches of loneliness forever?
