Successful. Beautiful. Intelligent. Yet a satisfying relationship eludes Debra Hampton. At thirty-five years old, she can’t figure out why her philosophy on men—and what they want from women—isn’t working. She’s trapped in a cycle of shattered relationships, until a friend refers her to a relationship guru. After some resistance, Debra finds refuge in the counsel of Doc Reid as he helps her navigate through the storms of rejection and failed love. Once he reveals the error of her ways, will Debra master the forbidden secrets to attract her soul mate or continue to keep love at bay?

Praise for The Forbidden Secrets of the Goody Box…
“I started to skim through this book, but now I cannot put it down. This is an incredible book that all women must read.”
~ Lexi, talk-show host of The Lexi Show as seen on The Word Network
“Coleman and Reid lay the hard-hitting arsenal out in the open in this refreshing and looong-awaited new spin on an ageless battle to tame the flesh! Goody Box is not just a novel, but a woman’s must-have, must-READ handbook full of great teachings and insight on reaching personal and relational fulfillment. Goody Box will have you pledging heart-gasm before orgasm!”
~ Dr. Vivi Monroe Congress, author of Manna for Mamma and The Bankrupt Spirit
"I praise God for Valerie and Christopher. They tackled information about relationships that are often unaddressed. Purchase the Goody Box book as a reference for yourself or a gift for someone else."
~ Marsha Beasley, radio-talk-show host of Gospel ConneXion
"First, let me say thank you for reminding me to keep the box “closed” – LOL. Second, let me thank you for the writing. I must admit I was not sure what to expect, although the snippet was an excellent preview. I, at first, believed that it was to be more informational – somewhat like Harvey’s “Act….Think…”. But the way that the characters were woven was exemplary and the way it ended! That explains my delay in responding after finishing…I was not speaking to either you or Doc Reid, my feelings were hurt! When is the next book coming out --- I have to know what happens… Let me know – I want my preview copy! LOL
Lessons learned upon completion: ANY relationship takes time and nurturing for it to grow in a HEALTHY manner. This includes my relationship with God, self and others! I can’t leave the opportunity for someone else to do the “work” for me and me to expect the benefits of that work. Excellent work! Thank you! "
~ April K.
"I finished the book...Woo hoo! I couldn't put the it down. EXCELLENT JOB!! I'M A LOVER OF THIS BOOK!
You and Chris touched on many relationship situations females have experienced. I know this will be a best seller and more importantly, it will help the ladies. Chris's advice will open the eyes of women on how important it is to 'lock that box' and get a better understanding of men.
At times, I hollered out laughing and people looked at me like I was crazy.I love when a book has me so into it that I forget my surroundings.
Once again, GREAT JOB! I already recommended the Goody Box book and will be passing it on to my nieces to read. They need to understand at a young age to 'lock that box!!'"
~ Miracle T.
"Val, I so enjoyed the Goody Box book. You and Doc Reid did an awesome job. I could hardly put it down.
I felt empowered and encouraged. Sherry showed me confidence as she held her ground. Debra's character showed me that you don't have to give up all of you. I learned from Rachel that communication is key and if problems go unaddressed, temptation can come. I was enlightened by the different types of men.
I can't wait to read the Goody Box sequel. Keep up the good work!"
~ LaToya M.
"Valerie, I LOVED the Goody Box book! Finished it earlier this week and then re-read it immediately and finished again last night.
As I read the book, it was easy for me to see each of the characters as someone I could know and interact with. I learned the most through Debra. Her journey was enlightening and I've already started labeling the predators!
The Goody Box book is a must read for ALL women and men can get something from it too.
Now please, please, please tell me there is a sequel in the works."
~ Tamarus S.
"Val, you had me laughing yesterday! I love your humor and your cuz [Christopher Reid] is really crazy; never knew. Proud of you and the endeavors God has you doing to change lives. Yeah, Val!"
~ Stephanie W.
"I thank God for Valerie Lewis Coleman and Christopher Reid who unselfishly released The Forbidden Secrets of the Goody Box -- audible whispers of the Holy Spirit. Doc Reid's golden nuggets (truths) of relationship counseling, neatly sandwiched between candid conversations only shared with friends, offer a healing balm for persons hiding behind broken hearts and shattered dreams. I once was blind, but now I see... I once was trapped, but now I'm free."
~ Andrea Attaway-Young, author of The Secret Treasure
"Finished the Goody Box book and got mad because I finished it too quickly! LOL! I really enjoyed the book and could see myself all through it. Time to make a change and do things differently. Tired of the same old same old. I plan to go back and read the Goody Box book again, but this time with a highlighter! Wonderful job!"
~ Stacey F.
"Hi, Mrs. Val. We spoke at the credit union the other day and I got my copy of the Goody Box book. I'm almost done with it already. GREAT BOOK!!! A serious page turner that's both funny and informative."
~ Dana S.
"I so love the Goody Box book. It is awesome!!"
~ Carolyn G.
"OMG!!! I can't put the book down!! Lord have mercy. Ya'll have me thinking. I am so thankful for a man's perspective on what men really think about women. The Goody Box book should be a number-one bestseller and one that every women needs to read. Congrats!"
~ Theresa H.
