The second book was called "For Men Only," a book of poetry for men, which is a tribute to the men who were her pillar of support. Afterward, she published a sequel to "Situations 101 – Relationships" titled "Situations 101 – Finances."

According to Black Doctor, the memoir of her mother's Alzheimer's journey and how the family dealt with her father's murder was, however, what provided a more open look into the author's life.
