Lisa Hodges is the quiet, reserved first lady of the fast-growing Pilgrim Baptist Church. Unbeknownst to those around her, Lisa's calm demeanor masks a deep discontent, and they are about to witness a rebellion. Lisa, the mother of two, has gotten lost in the lives of her children and her role as first lady. She had long ago given up on obtaining any happiness or success of her own, but now she feels something stirring in her soul. Her husband Charles is so focused on climbing the ministerial ladder--and the many women standing in line to fulfill his every need and desire--that he fails to acknowledge his wife's growing frustration. He believes that she is fulfilled with her life and her weekly meetings with her other first lady friends, so he doesn't think twice when Alex Walker enters his church. Lisa, on the other hand, is charmed by the six-foot-tall, caramel-skinned Alex, and they soon begin a sexy, whirlwind affair. The forbidden love results in an unwanted pregnancy. To complicate matters even more, Alex has secrets of his own, and he is threatening to expose them all, one secret at a time. Will Lisa be able to deny her love for Alex and fix the mess she's gotten herself into, or will her actions bring down her husband, her family, and the church?

Michelle knows that being the First Lady of Mount Zion Baptist Church is an important and much-coveted position, so she always gives thanks for a dutiful husband and a prosperous life. But she also prays for Darvin to spend more time with her, talking about something other than Mount Zion's affairs. Michelle's faith is further put to the test when the seductive vixen Daphne Carlton arrives on the steps of their church, determined to make Michelle's life a living hell so that she can get rid of Michelle and assume her role as the First Lady. With Michelle representing the reputation of her husband and church, she feels the burden to respond in a prim and proper manner; but she knows that in real life, such behavior might not be enough to defeat an enemy once and for all. How far is the First Lady willing to go in order to stop Daphne?

Once I was a sane, levelheaded professional woman. Then I said “yes.” Now I am the lunatic bride I always made fun of! What is it about getting married that turns normal people into total freaks? A savvy, riotously funny novel, Diary of a Mad Bride is for anyone who has ever been a bride, is about to become a bride, yearned to be a bride, or suffered the sheer indignity of appearing in public in the world’s ugliest bridesmaid dress.... My wedding was starting in less than twenty minutes, and I was stuck in a 7-Eleven parking lot with popcorn kernels wedged in my gums and vanilla ice cream melting on my dress. It was a disaster too large to comprehend. After an agonizing year spent planning my wedding, could it really end like this? The voices chronicling a year of wedding hysteria swirled in my head.... — My grandmother upon viewing my engagement ring: “What do you mean he gave you an emerald! Diamonds are eternal, emeralds say, maybe five years.” — My future father-in-law on the night of my engagement party: “To a happy marriage and, if necessary, a painless divorce!” — My best friend, Anita: “Oh, screw congratulations. Of course I’m happy for you. Stephen’s a major piece of ass and he’s got a sense of humor. Just as long as you’re certain this is what you want.” Would I survive this day after all....?
