BOOK SYNOPSIS
After witnessing the brutal murder of their mother, the three Jackson sisters are separated, and living hard lives far away from each other.
Dominique is a well adjusted twenty-five year old professional, now living a perfect life…or so it seems. She’s in love with a man who once saved her, but is now threatening to destroy her. Will she be able to break free from him in time?
Donya has clawed her way from living on the streets to being a self-made Bohemian chick whose life is now filled with rainbows and dance. But then she finds herself stuck in the middle of two disasters. She has to save one of her sisters. Which one? And can she really tamper with fate?
DJ is the fast-talking, fast-thinking, straight-A high school senior with an attitude and temper she inherited from her father. Will she let her ways ruin her the way his ruined him?
Holler at the Moon is the coming of age story of three sisters who fight hard to create their place in the world without the love of a father or the guidance of a mother. Can they find healing to become the women they hope to be or will their dark pasts be their ultimate downfalls?
AUTHOR BIO
Having graduated Summa Cum Laude with dual degrees in Database Technology and Information Systems with an emphasis in programming, Tinesha Davis authored two books that have nothing to do with engineering—a collection of poetry, All Black Girls Ain’t Got Rhythm and other urban hymns, and her debut novel, Holler at the Moon. With these achievements she made it official: she is a writer who happens to play computer engineer by day.
Tinesha serves on the Board of Directors of the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation and is a writing coach for Book-in-a-Day, a non-profit program that teaches high school students how to write poetry, and publish a book—in one day. Tinesha lives in the DC metropolitan area with her sixteen year old son and is currently working on her follow up project Twice on Sundays.
