BWR Book Of The Month





In this sequel to THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY, daring and acclaimed writer Clarence Nero takes us back into the lives of Johnny and James in a powerful novel about fraternities, family, and college drama.

Johnny and James survived the tough streets of New Orleans, but when Hurricane Katrina lays waste to their beloved Ninth Ward, they are forced to begin a new chapter in Washington DC. For Johnny, this means finally pursuing his dream of a becoming a student at the historic Wheatley College. James soon joins Johnny in the Nation’s Capitol but the strong connection that brought them together in prison is strained by the pressures of their new lives. Then Johnny’s brother Carl and his wife, Tiffany, introduce Johnny to the beautiful, sexy, and smart, Sheila Doggett with the intent of steering Johnny in a different direction. The entire family rallies around Johnny and Shelia’s budding friendship and Johnny prepares to join the frat that is a legacy in his family.

But once James gets wind of what Johnny’s family is up to, he decides that he’ll stop at nothing to save his relationship. Meanwhile, Johnny is struggling to keep the peace with everyone and keeping a potentially deadly secret that could stand in the way of his dreams. Everyone is soon confronted with the truth that the havoc in their lives has only just begun…

How far will you go for love?

Our heroes and sheroes wrestle with this question as they struggle to do right by themselves and those they love and the result is a fast-paced, thought-provoking roller coaster of a read.

What do Black Men like to read?

I am starting to sell African American books and I want to know what black men really like to read. My best friend and I are in the process of ordering books and we want to know. I have been asking men in my area, and I am not getting a good response. Can you brothers please enlighten me? Have a blessed day!

BWR History


Founded in September 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia by Roderick Tate, Brothas Well Read was started to share his passion for reading amongst his friends. He invited several friends to the first meeting, not knowing what to expect. As a result of the strong interest and support, Brothas Well Read was created.

The group consists of African-American men with diverse backgrounds. Each member’s uniqueness and creative energy adds to the group’s success.

Brothas Well Read Book Club is for like-minded African American men to come together to discuss a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. It provides a warm comfortable atmosphere in which we can fellowship, engage in intellectual discussion, and enrich each other’s lives.
