Adultery. . . Murder. . . Deceit. . . Scandal
The Divas takes you behind the scenes into the exciting world of four beautiful friends, all married to music industry heavy-hitters.
Deena: The twenty-four year old wife of JaySmooth, The best selling rapper on the East Coast. She put her life and dreams on hold to be his ride-or-die chick, only to be discarded when he falls in love with a gorgeous, blonde, singer.
Chrystal: Thirty-two year old wife of Corey Banks, legendary hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur. She has endured hardship and pain during her twelve year marriage, as she watched her husband chase one woman after the other. Although she enjoys her lavish lifestyle, she vows to never be betrayed by him again.
Nicole: Twenty-one year old wife of Julian Jackson and the former lead singer of the R&B group Miracle. As time goes by she discovers that he is not the man that she thought she married. She discovers his secret that could not only shatter their marriage, but ruin his career.
Renee: The twenty-four year-old wife of Atlanta based rapper Armani (Twist) Stokes. Renee used street intellect to transform a chance meeting into marriage and hits pay-dirt when she marries her young ambitious and multi-talented husband. She will stop at nothing to help him achieve the superstar status that he so rightfully deserves. Renee is fighting to keep her marriage intact when scandalous secrets from her past come back to haunt her. Not only could she lose her man, but she could face jail time for the sins she has committed.
From lavish lunches, fabulous parties, extravagant shopping sprees, and soothing spa dates, The Divas takes you through the heartache, betrayal and broken marriages of four women whose quest for love, money, and status nearly destroys them all.

Growing up poor and black in the segregated South, Robert knew he had to do something with his life if he was to avoid an eternal prison of poverty. Like so many others, he found an escape hatch in the United States Army. But then he got a whole lot more than he bargained for. Robbobell chronicles Robert's remarkable journey from messed-up kid to GI, drill instructor and finally, educator. This candid and often humorous memoir takes readers behind the scenes of black life in the 1950s South, when saying the wrong thing to the wrong person could earn a potentially dangerous rebuke. From there, the narrative moves to Robert's Army experiences as he yearns for a better life. Through boot camp, jump school and service in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, Robert learns the core values in wartime; staying alive and looking out for your buddies; don't include anything about race. What follows is an edge-of-your-seat narrative of survival spiced with the realities of drug use in the military during the 1970's and 80's. But with help from the Lord and Robert's beloved soul mate, Jackie, he builds an impressive, globetrotting military career; while never forgetting how to have a good time. Robbobell: The Scars of a Painful but Wonderful Past, is an unsanitized, enlightening look at the challenges faced by millions of African Americans during segregation. It is the story of how the Army molded a young man to withstand the enormous pitfalls of his time. And it is about an important period of American history that we simply cannot afford to ignore.
So, who is
Dr. Robert Hill?
