Griffin Scott Press announced a late September release date for Cynthia Bailey -Thomas’s and Peter Thomas’s urban memoir. The book chronicles the couple’s journey of courtship, marriage, financial comebacks and blending a family of six children.

Bailey-Thomas shares, “Peter and I did not write a book to give other couples relationship advise.  Our story is biographical and we hope it will serve as an inspiration to other couples finding love in the second half of their lives. We share the nitty-gritty of what it looks like to maintain passion in a mature relationship while balancing children, business and finances.”

The book’s title is a playful euphemism that defines all the moving pieces that come along with mid life marriage. The chapters delve into everything from Cynthia’s and Peter’s first date that was fifteen years in the making to their formula for successfully managing six children and five co-parents.

Readers will be stunned to learn how the ex-supermodel and restaurateur/entrepreneur shot to fame and joined the ensemble cast of Bravo’s hit reality show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. “Carry-on Baggage” will inspire, provoke and make the reader laugh out loud as they take Cynthia and Peter’s nonstop flight to finding marital bliss.
