Bitch Is the New Black (PB) (2022)

Strong, sassy, always surprising--and titled after a Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" monologue by Tina Fey--Bitch Is the New Black is a deliciously addictive memoir-in-essays in which Helena Andrews goes from being the daughter of the town lesbian to a hot-shot political reporter... all while trying to answer the question, "can a strong, single, and successful black woman ever find love?" Fans of Sloane Crosley (I Was Told There'd Be Cake) will love the bold and brassy Bitch Is the New Black.

• Humorous Memoir: Follow Helena's journey from being the daughter of the town lesbian to a political reporter navigating the D.C. shark tank, one professional and personal disaster at a time.

• Mother-Daughter Stories: Explore the one-of-a-kind bond between Helena and her mother, Frances, in brutally honest and funny tales of kidnapping, life lessons, and riding in cars with lesbians.
