Acceptable Lies B D Anderson

Gabriel Wainwright and Honey Jones both have kept their relationship a secret from their families. Gabriel is a ballet dancer and teacher whose family assumed that he is gay because now at the age of twenty six, he's never bought a girl home to meet the family. Gabriel knows that his father who is the Attorney General of North Carolina would never accept Honey, a Black woman as his son's choice for a mate. Therefore, Gabriel has no problem letting his family believe that he is gay. Honey Jones comes from a single parent household whose mother Sugar is a ghetto fabulous diva who doesn't mince words. She's used men all her life to get what she needed in order to survive and raise her daughter. Honey loves her mother but doesn't want to tell her about Gabriel, therefore she has her believing that she's dating a broke man just out of rehab. Both Gabriel and Honey would rather have their parents believe the 'Acceptable Lies' they've weaved together rather than the truth. However, once their relationship is discovered, they have no choice but to face their families and deal with the drama that quickly ensues.
