(Click title to Learn more about this Book)

Author: Scott D. Haskins
"[Haskins] has created a modern day "Coffy", in his new book Sasha’s Way: A Novel of Payback and Justice. (It is intended for adult reading audiences only).

Something comes alive in Dr. Sasha Timms when she walks in on her husband and his lover in their buppie paradise. Once they are dealt with, Sasha’s Way, she becomes a one-woman crusade, waging an all out war against male brutes. With sassy, divaesque style, this Woman’s Therapist delights in righting the wrongs that have been committed against her victimized patients.

This unconventional novel is a fast-paced and tragically comic read. Imagine a "Waiting To Exhale" meets "Death Wish," Sasha’s Way is a thriller you won’t want to put down.
