Call It Anything But Love

One moment, Judith is admiring her devoted husband on stage. The next, she learns he's a bigamist. Set in mid-1990's Trinidad, Call It Anything But Love will take you on an honest, raw and heartbreaking journey, exploring polygamy, homophobia and more, through eight startling short stories. 

Though Nadira treads carefully, navigating an uncharted path as Majeed's second wife, events spin out of control, making trouble neither can fix. Meanwhile, Majeed and Judith’s sixteen-year-old, Asiyah, reaches for dreams her family refuse to believe in. Adam re-opens a painful past when he encounters Munir after a long estrangement, while igniting hope for a courageous future. And Arianna discovers no matter how much she loves Cisco, even their kids can't glue them together.
