How much control do we have in our own lives? An Atlanta-based psychologist discusses six fatal clients who went overboard while dealing with the issues of their personal lives and careers. Bestselling author Omar Tyree returns to writing fiction with this psychological thriller based in the music and entertainment hub of Atlanta.

New York Times bestselling author Omar Tyree won the 2001 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work—Fiction, and the 2006 Phillis Wheatley Literary Award for Body of Work in Urban Fiction. He has published more than twenty books on African American people and culture, including five New York Times bestselling novels. He is a popular national speaker, and a strong advocate of urban literacy. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Moderating the talk will be Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a Licensed Psychologist, Speaker, Founder & CEO of Therapy for Black Girls, and host of its wildly popular mental health podcast. She’s also the author of Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing Community. Her work focuses on making mental health topics more relevant and accessible for Black women. She specializes in creating spaces for them to have fuller and healthier relationships with themselves and others.
