Brandy, a 59-year-old piano playing bombshell at Mac’s Bar, proudly projects her 40 double-Ds just when her tip jar sorely needs dollar bills. She escapes this roadhouse by marrying the generous philanthropist and tycoon millionaire Hubert Franz Berman. They travel in a ritzy world of private jets and stretch limos. Yet, from the beginning, Brandy is soundly rejected by his two daughters as they join forces with his domineering housekeeper and a very possessive secretary. After Hubert’s sudden death, Brandy learns the truth of his ‘hot’ money and his membership in the Honor Guard Secret Society. This deep-rooted secret makes life tougher. Special promises are quickly broken by those close to her and deadly omens of doom are predicted by a mystical clairvoyant. Only the caressing arms of Shields Mason, the limo driver, and Garrett Grayson, an FBI agent, provide her with the uplifting, heated passions of love and romance that she so desperately needs. A PROMISE LAND OF PLENTY has a maze of twisting events from Boston to Kentucky to the sandy shores of Destin and the Cayman Islands. Can Brandy ever find a place of happiness? You bet she’ll keep on trying!

With playful, theoretically nuanced prose, Cervantes-Gómez builds upon queer of color theory and continental philosophy to present the “bottom” as a form of relational performance, which she terms “pasivo ethics.” The ...
