What a Woman's Gotta Do

Eugenics and race relationships in the U.S. are the centerpieces of Coleman's novel. Her heroine is a smart, sassy black newspaper reporter, an orphan who doesn't trust anybody--including the man she's about to marry. When Patricia Conley thinks she sees him holding hands with another woman, after having apparently stood her up at the altar, she launches an investigation that eventually leads her to discover the spirituality and genetic foresight of an ancient African people. Along the way, Patricia meets a fascinating cast of characters, including scientists, spiritualists, computer hackers, misogynists, and racist villains. She also meets a handsome investigator whose help she shuns. Her natural distrust has her suspecting he is not what he seems to be, all the while she's falling in love. Through her investigation, Patricia discovers that she is not as alone and unloved as she had always thought. Using her skills as a journalist, Coleman provides vivid detail and suspense in her thriller, a first adult novel by this award-winning author of six children's books.
