To love a man can give you a lifelong of heartbreak. However, if you follow the principles of A Woman's Business, you can control the relationship . . . and the man.

The tantalizing temptress May Rose Jones is a first-generation African American woman born during the end of slavery in Bedford, Virginia. She struggles to convince her strong-minded, African mother and her two aunts that she is using the principles instilled in her with Willie Jones, her not so loving husband who, in her family's opinion, is not worthy of holding May Rose's hand, let alone taking it in marriage.

In spite of Willie's disrespect, excessive gambling, and addiction to Moonshine, May Rose loves her husband as her American culture has shown her to do. This is where she clashes with her African teachings and her elders, none of whom bites their tongue in expressing their disappointment in May Rose's inability to handle her business, accusing her of shaming the work of past generations of women.

May Rose and Willie's childhood friend, Minister David Smith, sees the value and beauty in May Rose and doesn't hide expressing it. But even if May Rose does finally see Willie as the good-for-nothing drunk the people closest to her sees him as, there's still one thing standing in the way of May Rose and Minister David Smith ending up together: his wife and family.

Will May Rose fall back in line with the blueprint her ancestors put in place, or will those who think they know best for her have to take matters into their own hands? Either way, May Rose hits the roof when the shenanigans hit the fan, and readers get hit with a slew of unsuspecting occurrences that they'll never see coming.
