On the surface, Anise seems to have it all: a successful career, a solid marriage, and good friends. However, when she applies for a promotion at work, she loses out to a white colleague who isn't qualified for the job. At the same time, she discovers that her husband is having an affair, and her best friend at work is keeping dangerous secrets. As plucky as she is determined, Anise discovers that she has the strength to deal with the heartbreak and in the end learns that what is worth having is worth the fight.

      When Anise, a black woman, applies for a promotion to manager of human resources, she's impeded by a management team that wants an all-white male staff. As Anise fights racism, job discrimination, and sexual harassment, she also finds herself in the midst of a divorce from her light-skinned husband, who wants a white wife. Then she begins a relationship with Frank, an Italian with a preference for black women. Tracey Leigh brings Roby's characters to life, giving even the villains depth and personality. Caricatures abound, but reality wins out in this story of pride and persistence. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
