Description
President/CEO of Franklin Entertainment and former Sony Pictures executive DeVon Franklin and award-winning actress Meagan Good have learned firsthand that some people must wait patiently for "the one" to come into their lives. They spent years crossing paths but it wasn't until they were thrown together while working on the film Jumping the Broom that their storybook romance began.
DeVon and Meagan chose to do something almost unheard of in today's society-abstain from sex until they were married. The Wait is filled with candid his-and-hers accounts and practical advice on how waiting for everything-from dating to sex-can transform relationships.
