Straight from the success of his hit television series The Family Business, New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber returns to his storytelling roots, blending his signature dramatic flair with a cast of new, entertaining characters.

At the heart of this narrative are Mother and Mable, two seasoned matriarchs whose wisdom and strength have guided them through decades of fostering children. Throughout the years, they have provided care and support to countless youths, but a select few remained, ultimately forming the family they had always longed for.

Driven by a deep desire to offer the young women the bright futures they deserve, Mother introduces them—Keisha, Toni, Mary, and Nicole—to her highly lucrative, though unconventional, life insurance business. Each daughter has found her place within the enterprise, leveraging her unique strengths and experiences. Keisha, street-smart and strikingly beautiful, manages clients from challenging backgrounds, including drug dealers, hustlers, and criminals. Mary applies her talents to burial policies at the homeless shelter where she works, while Nicole focuses on policies for high-risk, elderly clients. Toni possesses a flair for acting, and that talent helps her handle the intricate logistics of the enterprise, coordinating with nurses, doctors, and adjustors to ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Together, this group has formed a formidable and profitable team. However, as the stakes rise, the policies they manage begin to hit much closer to home, challenging the bonds they have built and forcing them to confront the true meaning of family and loyalty.
Carl Weber is the New York Times bestselling author of The Preacher's Son, So You Call Yourself a Man, Something on the Side, Up to No Good, Big Girls Do Cry, Torn Between Two Lovers, and She Ain't the One. He is the Publisher and Editorial Director of Urban Books and CEO of Urban Books Media, which is currently producing films based on several of his bestselling novels.
