SGS Characters
MEET THE CHARACTERS OF SINGLE GIRL SUMMER
BUTTON
Button Jackson seems to have it all: she’s attractive, owns a successful business, and has men at her beck and call. Yet her inability to trust has cost her one of life’s greatest joys: meaningful relationships. While she’s the epitome of Ms. Independence, underneath lurks a fragility that she must confront if she wants to move forward in life and not live her mother’s legacy.
MEGHAN
Meghan Cherry-Henderson is trying to pick up the pieces of her life, after her recent divorce from a man who was more committed to his gambling addiction than his marriage. Encouraged by her loving and supportive parents, she embraces her creativity, takes chances, and even surprises herself as she begins a new chapter in her life.
DAWN
Dawn Martin is a planner, believes everything is negotiable, and is always in control. Suddenly she finds herself in uncharted territory as this uber-successful attorney realizes the man she loves is not going to follow her plan and turns out to be not quite the Prince Charming she created in her mind. With the help of her new girlfriends, Dawn learns to let go in order to move ahead.
HENRY
Henry James is confident, insightful, patient, and refuses to be stereotyped. He knows that in order for a woman to fully reciprocate love, she must first learn to let go of the handcuffs to her past. He appreciates the value of meaningful relationships and is willing to patiently wait for the woman he loves, up to a point.
CHICAGO
The City of Chicago transforms when the mercury hits above 70 degrees. Chicagoans willingly endure long, harsh winters for the promise of Spring and the magic of Summer. Viewing the Chicago skyline while cruising on a sunset boat ride on Lake Michigan is an unforgettable experience. Jazz fest in Grant Park…Visiting the Bean in Millenium Park… Jammin at the Shedd Aquarium…The Chosen Few Picnic – all quintessential Chicago experiences that help Button, Meghan and Dawn embrace their Single Girl Summer!
ANAND
Pronounced aa-nund, this swank yet homey restaurant owned by fashionista Button Jackson is where the girls come together to celebrate the high points of life. It’s also a safe environment where they’re comfortable enough to let down their guards and discuss the issues of their lives.

I’m not even sure how I got over here but I’m intrigued. I don’t even know where I was, surfing when I saw “Single Girl Summer” — the title. It grabbed my interest. The fact that the stories are set in Chi-Town, that’s a definite plus. Spent lotsa and lotsa time in Chi-Town, since childhood due to family/holidays, etc. Haven’t read the first novel yet but will soon. Just loving navigating through what you have. It’s like an adventure for me and I’m enjoying it. Thanks.
Loved it! Not wure how I even came across the book but I’m so glad I did! The title itself made me want to enjoy sy summer to the fullest. As a 24 year old single black woman, it’s hard to think of ways to enjoy life with ypur girlfriends and not focus soley on a boyfriend. This book really helped me ebmrace my single self! I’ve got 10 weeks of summer left and I’m going to make sure I enjoy every last bit of it! I’m focusing on being extraordinary and waiting on my extraordinary him! Im the mean time, I’ll be living single girl summer, fall, winter, and spring! =)
I love this book. I was able to relate to all the characters espically Meghan (I am divorced). This book totally blessed me, I read and highlighted all the was through. The straight forward wisdom is this book is pricless. I am most personally grateful for this gem of knowledge “My advice is dont date like a married woman. Ive seen it before. When you’re married, you’re used to a certain level of intimacy & attachment so you havea tendency to rush in too quickly trying to replace what you had before. You were with Frank six years. You’ll need to learn how to date again. Take things slow. Intimacy takes time to develop” Wish someone would have told me this earlier. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful talent. Im looking forward to my Single Girl Summer
