ReShonda Tate Billingsley
Nothing But Drama BookCamille, Angel, Alexis and Jasmine became friends after joining the Good Girlz Club, and, although the reader learned a bit about each character, the main focus was on Camille.
In Bookof ReShonda Tate Billingsley's Christian teen series the author introduced another Good Girlz Club member, Trina, who had a habit that got her and other members into trouble, and she touched on Alexis' issues with her parents, however, the main focus was Jasmine's story:
Jasmine's brothers got on her every nerve, she was responsible for most of the cleaning and cooking at home, and she always seemed to end up in situations that reminded her of the fact that she didn't have money.
Jasmine hated her life, and she believed that if she could just find the father she'd never known a relationship with him would make everything much better.
Jasmine's mother, Jetola, refused to even speak of this man and became highly upset when her daughter brought him up, so there was no way Jasmine was going to convince her to reveal her father's whereabouts.
Still, a determined Jasmine found her father, but she also found out that all that glitters isn't gold, That was cool in the end, though, because a lesson learned brought Jasmine closer to her mother,
