Our newest feature WHAT'S IN YOUR CARRY ON?, brought to you by Levy Home Entertainment, the nations premier book distributor, features a great summer read, Can I get a Witness by ReShonda Tate Billingsley. After all, a good book is a great companion to have while traveling. Tune in to hear about the author and this great summer read.

Can I Get A Witness? opens with Judge Vanessa Kirk presiding over yet another divorce in one of Houston’s most notorious divorce courts. Vanessa is quick to end the couple’s marriage, as she’s done countless others, but when she chooses to work late on the night of her five-year wedding anniversary, Vanessa’s husband lets her know he’s had enough.Thinking he’s overreacting, she visits him at his hotel the next night and discovers him with his mistress, Alana. Thomas then drops the bombshell that Alana is pregnant and he’s leaving to be with her since she’s giving him the child he so desperately wants.Before the couple can divorce, their judge (and Vanessa’s colleague whom she’s clashed with more than once) orders Vanessa and Thomas to attend a two-week spiritual retreat together. Time and counseling can do nothing to save this marriage, though, so Vanessa ultimately gets her divorce and everything she thought she wanted. In the end though, when loneliness and bitterness get the best of her, she must look to God to find peace in her life.Packed with fascinating characters, drama and scandal, Can I Get A Witness? is an emotional thrill-ride that will keep readers hooked to the end.
