About this Book: Title: Bid Whist: The Mother’s Game Author: Jessica Holter (Ghetto Girl Blue) It's anyone’s game when fate is the dealer in this trick-taking thriller, by Jessica Holter. Bid Whist: The Mother’s Game, is a page-turning novel about single mothers, their criminal sons, and the lives they touch and destroy. “Momma brought you into this world. Momma will take you out! That’s just something women say, to scare their children, right?” Dakota asked the card players, as her partner dealt a murderous plot around the table. Over empty glasses of Chardonnay, murder seemed like a morally justifiable plan... Fate brought Ivy, Dakota, Dolores and Lienna together together in the East Oakland cul-de-sac that gave to The Kin Organization (TKO), run by Ivy’s son Jackson, his sadistic side-kick Moon, and Helen, a TKO loyalist, in love with Jackson since childhood. The Pandemic brought the mothers together for a weekly card game that gave birth to their bloody fantasies. As the women face their own complicity in what their sons have become, it will take a masterstroke of conviction, divine intervention, a little magic, and a honey pot to save themselves from the poisoned fruit of their wombs. It’s Complicated was the perfect name for the poetry café Helen made of an old theater that her employer, and sometimes-boyfriend, Jackson, purchased to clean money for TKO. For Helen, it was a chance to help starving-artists with a microphone while making the operation legit and socially responsible. Moon saw the café as a growing threat to his position and would stop at nothing to unravel Helen’s plans to win Jackson over. Forced to prove herself, Helen must make a sacrifice that could destroy everything that she has worked for. But, when a man is scorned, let his woman beware! May his mother fall to her knees in prayer. It can take an act of God to bring him back from his darkness.
