With the keen and intimate sensibility of someone who was born, reared, and still lives in the city, Berkley genuinely captures Baltimoreans and the issues that plague their neighborhoods. Full of compelling twists and turns, The Union explores the deadly underbelly of Baltimore's political arena, in which Tiffany joins forces with a secret, unholy alliance in her daunting and never-ending fight to save her family and Ridgely Square community, while trying to save herself. -Odessa Rose, best selling author for Water in a Broken Glass and Kizmic's Journey. Screenplay writer and director for Stay Your Butt out of the Woods. Member of the Black Writers Guild. This book is definitely a winner and shows your strength and versatility as a writer. It is soooo good! -Karen Rodgers, Editor If it ain't one thing happening in Ridgely Square, it's another,"" an apt quote for the next book in this series. Being a steward of one's community is an ongoing endeavor that Tiffany Gibbons knows all too well and it's starting to take its toll. As she navigates being newly married, she also faces a water crisis, another serial killer, a cultist church, and all the mental wear and tear that comes from everything else she's weathered. Through it all, she's still a character you'll root for because her focus is always on doing what's right even when there doesn't seem to be a right answer. Thankfully, this time she doesn't have to do it alone. -Bri of the Earth 2 Cosmic Cast 2019 winner of the Women of International Business Award for The Wake 2023 finalist nominee for the Baltimore Crown Award for Author/Writer of the Year for the Void and Legacy"
