Shockingly eye-opening and revealing, The Divas provides you with an in-depth look into the behind-the-scenes goings on that relatively few people ever learn about the entertainment industry. Following the everyday movements of four young, beautiful friends all married to industry superstars, author Diane Burke's telling novel takes the reader on a vicarious trip through an often volatile world filled with love, pain, betrayal, and ultimate salvation

The compelling action of Burke's narrative is bolstered by her taut storytelling as she presents a vivid cast of characters painted straight from the canvas of everyday life. Readers will find it easy to relate to the conflicted emotional states that Deena and Chrystal find themselves in as they confront the painful realities of unfaithful husbands. Furthermore, as Nicole and Renee struggle to deal with the unexpected revelation of long-hidden secrets, their reactions are not only realistic, but they are sure to pull at the heart strings of anyone who has been confronted with similar situations in their own lives. Throughout their individual and collective peaks and valleys, the four friends ultimately learn that there is considerably more to life than the shallow pursuit of all things material.

Filled with deception, infidelity - and even murder - The Divas is a solidly entertaining read that packs a surprisingly strong punch, the effects of which you are sure to feel long after you've turned the last page.
