Three the Hard Way by Elizabeth LaShaun and KR Bankston
A Review By: KH
Sweep around your own front door before sweeping around someone else's is a proverb that best friends Kierre, LaTavia, and India live by. They are willing to put their lives on the line for each other, but sharing their inner demons is out of the question.
Kierre White is a woman that knows what she wants and goes after it, by any means necessary. Her past has invaded her present, but Kierre refuses to face it.
She has the answers to all her problems, or so she thinks. When her past and a relentless man come knocking on her door, Kierre must finally sit down, reevaluate her life, and do the one thing she has always feared; tell her secret.
India Wilcox is a young teacher who works overtime to keep her world picture perfect. A lovely career; sexy, successful man, and great friends. India is so busy trying to maintain the façade, that when the last person she ever expected comes and exposes her life for the empty existence that it is, she finds herself totally confused and exhausted from the thick blanket of denial she is slowly being forced to shed.
LaTavia Johnson’s life is perfect. Until her husband loses his job. LaTavia turns to the race track and lotto tickets hoping to soothe her angst and fear of their current situation, praying Lady Luck is on her side. With her new hobby LaTavia finds out firsthand how fickle Lady Luck can be as her world begins to crumble and her self-made web of deceit begins to tighten around her.
Join these three woman as they discover themselves, and the true meaning of not only friendship, but pure, uncorrupted sisterhood that only transparency brings.

This is a story of three friends that had me questioning just how friendly they actually were. Each of these ladies have a secret. And it seems they doubt whether or not they would be judged by the other. Because of this, they all go through some turmoil they are foreced to face alone. Kierre, India and LaTavia have to come to terms with the consequences of their actions.
Until they are forced to reveal their truths to one another, it seems neither of them have faith in the bonds they share. In the end, they are there for eachother, good or bad. This was an ok read. There were a couple delusional characters and situations that could have been avoided if these friends had just actually talked to one another.
