Author Talk: K. T. Braxton

The Don in Heels: the Inner Thoughts of thee Minnie Mogul

This story follows the life of Kenny, a chick from Detroit's Westside who's just trying to live -even when life ain't "lifin'" how she thought it should or would. From spiritual walking, unpacking childhood, maneuvering adulthood, managing businesses, to taking on an insane amount of responsibility, she is winging it -all while struttin' in stilettos. She's made God laugh with one plan at a time and is now often faced with the query: "If life doesn't happen how you planned, will you be okay?" She'd like to say yes, but is that true? Dive into this autobiographical novel filled with real-life events and the imagination of K.T. Braxton.
