In Dallas the three Hampton sisters feel they are close to one another, but each one keeps a major secret or two from their beloved siblings. Middle child Janeen feels she has hit the corporate glass ceiling especially when the board selected an outsider for a position that should have been hers, but it is her personal life that is in shambles. She and her womanizing spouse Ray are near the end as he cannot stop hopping the women and even sired a child with one of them. She now salivates over the FBI hunk investigating Ray.

The youngest Janesse, called Sissy, is enjoying the wild side of life running with a rough crowd pulling unethical real estate scams. The oldest sibling Joyce sees Sissy deeply kissing and groping Ray; she feels torn between her beloved sisters as she ponders telling Janeen what she has shockingly observed, which would break her relationship with Sissy; or does she remain quiet, which breaks her bond with Janesse?

WHAT'S A WOMAN TO DO is an engaging family drama that looks deep into how close siblings really are when secrets are kept that involves all of them. Sissy as the youngest has gotten away with crossing the line many times; Janeen as the middle sibling feels the squeeze above and below at home and at work; finally Joyce is the oldest who sets the moral tone for her younger sisters, but struggles with what she perceives is her moral role as an paragon for them. Victor McGlothin furbishes a strong, insightful and entertaining character study.

With the added twists and turns of work issues, problem relationships, family woes and a handsome man with characteristics to good to be true. (Is this anyone that we know) LOL This sisterhood of healing only begins after the lines of communication have been opened and the past issues have been faced. I enjoyed every minute of reading. KUDOS Victor!!! Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next book.

What's a Woman to Do?, Victor McGlothin's second novel, is another must have for your collection. As demonstrated in his first novel, Victor has the wonderful ability to bridge the gap between social consciousness and great story telling.

So not only do you get an excellent story from beginning to end, this book may also end up helping you or someone you know.

Congratulations to the author and much continued success. You have a fan for life. I can't wait until the next book.

I've been a fan of his for years.This book was a page turner just like the last. Once you get started it is impossible to put it down. It took me a day and a half to finish this book with all its twist and turns. Just fantastic. KUDOS to Victor McGlothin and what's a Woman to do?. I can't wait for the next novel from him and a movie for one of great books can't be far away.

I really enjoyed reading Victor's latest novel. I read it in 3 days because I could not put it down. I never knew what was going to happen next. I can't wait for the next one!

I did not really enjoy this book. It was too slow for me and did not get good until the end. I forced myself to read it and although some parts captured my attention, it just made me feel there could have been some more to it. It just didn't do anything for me.

This is the second book I've read by this author and I have been thoroughly pleased by them both. Autumn Leaves was the first book for me. I think he does an outstanding job of presenting very believable storylines. Almost like both reading a newspaper and being a "fly on the wall". I believe he enjoys what he does, as it shines through his work.

This book is, as stated, about the relationships between three sisters. It has a few twists and turns, drama and secrets - past and present, very well written. If you don't read this book, then you are missing out on a treat.

This is one of the best book I've ever read. I started and couldn't put it down. The story line is great and the ending is so unpredictable even though the clues are right in front of you. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows what a real good read is.
