Review:

When you give yourself to someone and let them into your world, the worst thing that they could do to you is betray your trust or lie to you. In HOW COULD MY HUSBAND BE GAY? author Ondrea L. Davis tells us about how her love and trust in her husband caused her to live a life that would end up in heartache that she couldn't have imagined. The book allows you to see exactly how the deception unfolded, and how Ondrea may not have been able to stand up for herself and her right to happiness and truth when things didn't seem right. Though she has her faith to depend on, it doesn't provide the assurance and love that she wants from the man she has given herself to so completely. We even see her doing at times what so many men and women do: settle for what is right in front of them instead of venturing out to what is best for them. When you add in the fact that children were involved there is even more reason to feel that the web of deception weaved by Ondrea's husband is more than just a betrayal to her but the entire family as well. In the end Ondrea has to take a stand and deal with the effects. Will her faith be enough to get her through and not give up on living and life? That is the question you will ask yourself as the book comes to an end. For all of us I think the message of truth is something that we can all relate to. Why put someone else through heartache and pain by not giving them the honesty they deserve. HOW COULD MY HUSBAND BE GAY is a question that women all around the country have had to ask themselves but thanks to Ondrea we can get a better idea of the answer. What will matter is what we do with the information we are given and how we can use books like this to continue a conversation that is not easy but must be had. Kudos to Ondrea L. Davis and J'son M. Lee for a job well done. --C.A. Webb, Conversations Book Club

Ms. Ondrea L. Davis has penned a winner her first time out the door with How Could My Husband Be Gay. Sad to say that it had to be an autobiographical account, however, this tale is heart-felt, disturbing, and mildly amusing as it mirrored what I personally went through a few years ago. I read this story with the intent to see if I could have prevented something or how I could have possibly missed the signs. Meet Ondrea, a wonderful young, shy woman who believes in God and family. Ondrea is a hardworking mother, dedicated to her church and family. Her husband, Marceous, is a momma's boy, arrogant and selfish to boot. The characters are lively, vivacious, and quite colorful to say the least. How Could My Husband Be Gay will have you laughing, crying, cheering and hoping for the best. As I read this work of art; I found myself anticipating what was going to happen next, screaming at the pages, exclaiming 'girl watch your back,' and looking around to see if Ms. Davis was in my house and I did not see her. Marceous was verbally abusive, and downright conniving at times, leaving readers wondering what had gone wrong in his childhood and does he really love women or is he using them as a cover-up. The church plays a big part in Ms. Davis keeping her faith through this trying time, along with trying to keep her marriage intact. With Marceous' nosey, overbearing family and his sneaky ways, Ondrea did not know what hit her. I asked the question could someone be that naive that they can overlook something, which appears to be so blatant? Do you stay or leave for the sake of the children? Can you salvage a marriage gone astray and maintain your sanity? I would like to thank Ms. Davis for opening her heart and life by writing this story of deception, heartbreak and misery. How Could My Husband Be Gay is relatable, realistic and emotional. I recommend this book to readers of all genres and look forward to Ms. Davis next book. --Cheryl Hayes, APOOO Book Club

How Could My Husband Be GAY? is an autobiography about the life of Ondrea and Marceous King. I must say that this book took me on an emotional roller coaster. At one point I was really calm, but then I found myself highly upset and talking to the characters of the story. The first sign of an issue was on the big day. Ondrea's family did not approve of Marceous but supported her decision to marry him in spite of their reservations because she was determined to marry him. The wedding day, as any wedding day, was planned out but Marceous had his own plans. On a day when the bride should have been the center of attention, Marceous and his mother, Beulah Mae, decided that they would make their own grand appearances- Marceous with a top hat and a cane and his mother dressed as Cleopatra. Another sign was the fact that he was still a momma's boy. Ondrea was overly patient. He was abusive mentally and verbally but Ondrea wouldn't leave because she strongly believed in her wedding vows. Marceous was very controlling also. There were some secrets that were being hidden. Marceous and his family would stop at nothing to keep those secrets hidden, even if it meant destroying the ones closest to them. How Could My Husband Be GAY? is told in great detail, from the wedding, to home life and even childbirth. Because of the manner in which the story is told, I felt as if I was right there with her. There were moments where I was mad at her for some of the BS she put up with. His BS would have had me taking off my earrings and opening up a can of whoop a--! Other times I forgot that it was an autobiography by some of the stuff that really happened. Made me wonder; why? This was a must read and a story that needs to be told. How Could My Husband Be GAY? is a well written book. --Sophia Garrison, OOSA Online Book Club
