Six women who live around the New York Metropolitan area are facing another Christmas...STILL SINGLE!!! One, the famous talk show host Aletha Brown is so frustrated with her relationship that she ends up shooting her boyfriend just two weeks before Crhistmas. In the meantime, her producer, Veronica McPhereson has just had a baby, and is fired by the jealous Aletha. There is a writer who writes a book she is not qualified to write and is on a book tour while her son is seaching (behind her back) for the father he never knew. Aletha's sister and her husband, the Simon's are so sick of being surrounded by out of control sistahs and brothas that they are planning to flee the country. The piece de rsisitance, though is the outrageouly funny Christmas party in the Connecticut mansion of Desiree and Aletha's parents house. Gingersnaps is satire using BLACK WOMEN to illustrate what you can call an abuse of power!
From Booklist
The author designates her main female characters "gingersnaps--spicy, and hard, brown and bold--women who refuse to let their cookies crumble when faced with a challenge." The six snaps include Aletha, a talk-show host; her sister Desiree, the psychologist; Veronica, the executive director of Aletha's show; Debra, a patient of Desiree's; Janeen, a hot interior-decorator involved with Aletha and Desiree's brother; and Louise, a best-selling author. All of the women have experiences that elicit actions that affect their relationships with each other and the men in their lives. | |  | | Ladyfingers
