In 2005. Tyler Perry took Hollywood by storm. The movie he wrote. produced. and starred in. Diary of a Mad Black Woman. opened number one at the box office and went on to gross more than $50 million. In its first week on sale. the DVD sold 2.4 million copies. At the same time. Perry was starring nightly across the country in a soldout stage show hed also written. produced. and scored-Madea Goes to Jail-even as another one of his productions. Meet the Browns. was touring nationally. Every week in 2005. 35.000 people saw a Tyler Perry production. His second feature film. Madeas Family Reunion. opens in theaters in February 2006. Now. this triple-threat actor/playwright/director. has written his first book. and it features his most beloved. most irreverent creation: sixty-eight-year-old grandmother Madea Simmons.Madea is at the center of all of Tyler Perrys work. and shes always unfailingly outspoken. dead-on. and hilarious. But in Dont Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings. Madea shares more than she ever has before- about herself. and about what she thinks of everyone around her. The topics inimitably covered by Madea (a term of endearment for 'Mother Dear') include love and marriage. child-rearing. etiquette and neighborliness. beauty tips. health tips. financial tips. the Bible and the church. and. of course. gun care. Shes brazen. feisty. and never at a loss for words. but at the heart of everything she says- and at the heart of all of Perrys work-is a resounding message of faith and forgiveness.
Shockingly hilarious. surprisingly moving. and as rousing and inspiring as a great gospel show. Madeas words of wisdom. memories. and straight-up in-your-face advice will be cherished by Perrys numerous fans- and it all comes just in time for Mothers Day. Tyler Perry is about to take the publishing world by storm.
