Baring it All
Baring it All is my new novel scheduled for release May 14, 2005.
Love between a sinner and a saint, turns into a roller coaster ride of sex, lies, and murder. – Baring it All debut novel due for release May 14, 2005.
Synopsis: Chocolate Paradise, the city's premier adult entertainment nightclub is the backdrop for this tale. Owned and operated by Marcus Thomas, Chocolate Paradise is host to the city's most elite clientele of politicians, sport stars, and entertainers. Its dancers rank amongst the highest paid in the country.
Marissa Rogers, a young African American female struggling to survive on her own, becomes employed as a stripper at Chocolate Paradise in order to supplement her dismal finances. She enjoys working there until she meets and falls in love with her grandmother's married minister.
Rev. Travis Leonard, a young good looking African American male, struggles to fight against his temptation for Marissa as he takes his appointment as minister of his first congregation. There has been a Leonard in the pulpit of a large congregation since the days of slavery and Travis refuses to be the first to break tradition.
Both of their lives and the community are in turmoil as they discover the strippers are being murdered one by one. The killer is coming closer to Marissa as she and Travis realize they must bare it all to each other to not only have a future together but to find God's presence and purpose and hope for that future.
“Ms. Garrison deftly blends spirituality, sexuality and mystery in this tightly crafted, fast-paced tale. The characters struggle through situations that challenge their beliefs and ultimately make those beliefs stronger. Let's hope there is more to come from this talented writer. Gena Garrison definitely has a winner here...Enjoy!” – Karen McCord free lance editor
As a Christian I’ve been asked if Baring it All is a book for the sinner or the saint, and I’ve answered it’s about both, and it’s for both. It’s a story about love, sin, and how God fits into our complicated lives. After reading it I think people will have been entertained, intrigued, aroused and hopefully they’ll also feel the presence of God.
