In a battle between her obligations and her desires, Mira's heart might just be the biggest casualty. Mira Simpson, a busy crime reporter at WQUZ in Pittsburgh, is struggling to keep up with her ten-hour work days while still finding time to care for her ill father. In the two years since his diagnosis with early onset Alzheimer's disease, Mira hasn't had time for a social life, and certainly not for a love life. Add in an overzealous fan making trouble for her, and Mira is in a constant state of stress. As if all that wasn't enough, Chris Noble-the infuriating and infuriatingly hot reporter from rival news station WBDD-has been promoted to his station's crime reporter position, putting him directly in Mira's path on a daily basis. While the two clash heads in the field, Mira can't help admitting that Noble's cocky attitude is turning her on to the point of distraction. But Mira doesn't have space in her life for a complication like Noble, especially when time with the man that raised her seems to be running out. But while Mira is trying to rebuild the wall she keeps between herself and the outside world, she finds her guard coming down where Noble is concerned. There's more to him than meets the eye, but can Mira trust her biggest rival? Or will she continue to put her heart on standby?

Part memoir, part testimonial, and part life guide, Stand by Your Truth mixes Rickey Smiley’s down-home humor with the values he learned from being raised by three generations of elders, steeped in the Baptist church, and mentored by some of the most celebrated comics in the entertainment industry today. “I’m very passionate about everything that I do and I don’t play any games. I just keep it honest. I don’t put on airs. That’s the only way you can be. If you tell one lie, you’ve got to tell another lie. I’m cool with who I am. What you see is what you get.” Stand-up comic. Single dad. Radio personality. TV star. Prankster. Producer. Community activist. Man of faith. Visit a church, comedy club, college campus, or barber shop, and you’ll find few people who aren’t familiar with, or fans of, Rickey Smiley. At least four million listeners in more than seventy markets tune in every weekday morning to hear him banter with his radio show crew, hilariously prank call an unsuspecting listener, and perform skits featuring his one-man cast of characters, including “Lil Darryl,” “Beauford,” and “Joe Willie.” But in between the rapid-fire jokes and celebrity dish are flashes of how Rickey views the world, from the challenges of raising children, to the importance of education, to the need to always stand by your own truth. After more than two decades in the spotlight, Rickey is finally ready to delve more deeply into the opinions he voices on the air, riffing on those issues that his listeners, viewers, and fans find most important. This collection of personal and powerful essays will speak to readers from all walks of life, and is sure to inspire you to Stand by Your Truth.
