Based in part on the author’s own experiences, SATIN DOLL’s protagonist, Regina Harris, is living in two worlds. Born and raised in Harlem, she’s savvy, street-smart and fiercely independent, and uses these qualities to make it as a freelance writer and to win the heart of one of the most eligible young bachelors around. But when her shady past comes back to haunt her young husband’s political campaign, Regina must make some difficult choices. Caught between her high-society in-laws and her Harlem friends, Regina is put to the test when her two worlds collide.
