​After much encouragement the sequel, What Goes Around (One World/Ballantine), to Parry's highly acclaimed first novel, was released in the Spring of 2006. Parry's debut novel, The Shirt Off His Back, was a national best seller for more than five months prior to its January 2001 re-release, which was a part of the launch of Strivers Row (a Random House imprint), and has caused quite the buzz. Ms. Brown's first non-fiction work, Sexy Doesn't Have a Dress Size...Lessons in Love is a candid look at how we need to learn to love ourselves where we are; right here, right now. Sittin' in the Front Pew, an Essence Magazine number one best seller and is in its 8th printing, has appeared on the prestigious list several times since its April 2002 release and four years later is still going strong.
