The Rainbow
Through The Eyes Of
A Closet Homosexual's Wife

Reviewed by: Chasity Boone

The story of Kylena Brook's life falls around the plot of "look at what this man has done to me." Kylena is a mover and motivator when it comes to her career and her children, but not in the hands of the man she married. Kylena is on her third marriage to Mr. Alex Brook a counselor and a holier-than-thou church man that has no idea what he wants in life or love. Kye wants to be a caterer and focus on her career, but Alex is not the best person to support her in that virtue.

Kye has a past that she can't seem to shake off, and she feels like she' battling demons. She is battling demons in the form of her children and demons in the form of her husband. Alex is a man that feels that prayer is the answer to all one's problems except for his. Alex is a brother that doesn't want to be honest with his wife about the sand problem in his eye and his wife can't blow it out for him. Gerry; who is Kye's best friend would probably be the better candidate for that. Kye notices a change in Alex's pattern and as we know everyone has one, but when they deviate from that pattern that's when we as women become skeptical and that was Kye's case. Kye's problem is that she is living her life in denial because she doesn't want to know the truth she's holding on to a man who is already gone. Kye solves her problems through drinking, but when it's all said and done will that be enough?

The book to me just seemed out of sync. It could be the way the characters came into the story that deviated from making the story interesting to me. I was just trying to keep up. Don't get me wrong, I agree that this book may be inspirational for women and men that are going through the scenario of the title of the book because I am sure there are a lot of women in the world now possibly suspecting their husbands of being involved with the sand. There was no action in the book, and it really didn't start getting interesting until around the 10th chapter and by chapter 14 it was on fire, but that's not a good thing when there are only 15 chapters in total. If you have read Private Affair or Choices and you pick this book up expecting the same action, you can forget about it. The scenario in this book is avoidance is not the answer.

What did you like Best about the book?
How the author focused on the ins and outs of church.

What did you dislike about the book?
It was a very slow read.
