Summary: *Couldn't put it down!*
Review: This is the 4th novel I've read by Margaret Johnson-Hodge. A New Day is an excellent sequel to The Real Deal in that we find out what happens with Samone and Jeff, yet still leaves the focus on Max and Carol-Anne. I found myself really feeling the pain of Carol-Anne's struggles and the evolving relationship with Nadia. She was so used to making a way for her child and didn't truly know how to accept Max's help and his lifestyle/expectations. She ultimately learns how to get the best of both worlds, but not without going through hard times. The relationship between Carol-Anne and her mother was very intense. A New Day will make you laugh, think & it will tug at your heartsrtings. I couldn't put it down. When you read MJH, its like being right there with the characters. She writes beautifully. CLB.

Summary: A New Day is a winner!!
Review: When I picked up this book, I thought that it would simply continue the story of The Real Deal. I was wrong. This book creates a whole new world. A New Day explores male/female relationships in a whole new way. Not only do we learn more about Carol-Ann, how proud she is, how resourceful she is. We also understand why Max acts as he does. Carol-Ann is proud and doesn't want help, she wants love. Max wants to provide the help but not without a price. This story shows how communication can lead to a path of understanding. I'm looking for more great writing from Margaret Johnson-Hodge.
