David E. Talbert, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "one of the most prolific theater makers in America" makes his publishing debut with a captivating, big-hearted romantic comedy that speaks to the sensibilities of African-American women everywhere. Montana Moore, a flight attendant, has one recurring fantasy: walking down the aisle with that paragon of male perfection-wherever he may be. With her mother about to tie the knot for a fourth go-round, and her baby sister rushing to jump the broom, three-time maid of honor Montana is ready for the adventure of her life: She has thirty days and 30,000 miles to find one husband. With its colorful cast of larger-than-life characters and winning blend of comedy, sensuality, and spirituality, Baggage Claim tells a heartwarming and hilarious tale of a woman struggling to lose the baggage of her past by claiming her future.
