Publisher Description
Blackboard best-selling author of Caught Up in the Rapture, Sheneska Jackson returns with the moving story of Madison Maguire, an attractive, modern woman with unique strengths and weaknesses. At age 30, strong-willed Madison, also known as Li'l Mama, always follows her "rules of dating." But even within the safe confines of her rules, she always seems to get herself into some kind of trouble--man trouble to be exact. Unable to cultivate true intimacy after the loss of her first love, Madison is as vulnerable as she is independent. Soon she will learn something about herself that will tragically change her life forever. Patricia Floyd's empathetic narration adds further depth to this novel of defying adversity, building trust and recognizing true love.

"You know this book is a pretty good book. I'm not sure about adding it to one of my faves but I must admit, I kind of enjoyed reading it. I was kinda mad she got HIV, but I guess that was a good chunk of what the book was about. Anyway, I wanna find my Chris--he was too perfect. :-)"

" I really loved this book. I always love a book that has a strong woman as the protagonist, and then when it is true-to-life, showing her going through the daily battles of juggling her job and her personal life. The writing was great and it was a wonderful read. "
— Jonna, 4/14/2013 -
" For someone as strong-minded an independent as Miss Madison Maguire you'd think she'd have a "rule" to strap up everytime you "hook up". She seemed to have a rule for everything but something that could save her life. However, it a an ok read. "
