Synopsis
Now in paperback, the critically acclaimed Essence bestseller is a blistering satire of American gender, race, and economic relations. Sexual Healing starts by exploring a simple if sensational premise—what would happen if two black businesswomen started a brothel that served up male sex workers hired and trained to meet black women’s most intimate needs? Jill Nelson uses this set-up as an opportunity to spin a comedy of outrageous manners for the 21st century in her inimitably uninhibited voice. The result is what Ebony called, “A post-feminist fable of sexual empowerment that’s smart, explicit, and side-splittingly funny.”

This book will satisfy the appetites of Zane-addicted readers and titillate others as long as they don't take Nelson too seriously. — Patricia Elam
