Embracing the shattered pieces of the soul and championing the resilient nature
of the heart, A Woman's Worth takes readers on a journey of startling depth.
From a speakeasy whorehouse in the bottoms of Alabama to a luxurious high-rise
apartment in Kenya, acclaimed author Tracy Price-Thompson crosses boundaries of
sexuality, gender, and culture to accentuate the core of black identity: the
enormous strength of family.
Abeni Omorru is a stunning Kenyan woman who is haunted by piercing memories.
Although her father's wealth ensures her a life of prestige, childhood trauma
has left her emotionally damaged and sexually promiscuous. While Abeni takes on
many lovers, none come close to healing the wounds of her heart--and only a man
who understands her worth can truly claim her soul.
Bishop Johnson is also haunted by his past. Raised by prostitutes in a rural
Alabama town, he is a promising teenage boxer--until his dreams are shattered
when his parents are murdered during a violent robbery and he takes revenge on
the perpetrators. Bishop goes to jail, and when he is released he has a
volatile temper and a mean left hook to back it up.
Trouble continues to find Bishop, and he is forced to leave Alabama and travel
to Kenya with the Peace Corps. There he falls in love with Abeni, and they
marry. When Bishop learns the secret of Abeni's past, he is force to make a
decision that may cost him more than one man should ever have to sacrifice.
