The bills are due again for Greg "GP" Patterson...but this time they won't get paid. He and his Latina wife face robbery charges when a simple assault goes bad. Their quarrelsome children are sent away to a group home—the one where GP was abused as a child. After a few days in jail, the Pattersons lose everything.

Aunty Jewels is a hardcore, hustling lesbian who enjoys to administer pain. Once she bails the Pattersons out, GP must make some serious moves if he is to provide decent shelter for his family again. A visit to Squeeze, who is a villainous loan shark, will lead to killer interest rates and a murderous default penalty. When GP gives Jewels the loan money to flip in a high-stakes credit card scheme, she gets robbed for it all. GP has to figure out how to pay his debt and gain the respect of his family again; Jewels has already figured out how to make everybody pay.

In his newest novel, Push Comes To Shove, Oasis brings the drama right to his readers' face. His writing style is razor sharp, and the story line will cause your heart to skip a beat. I tremendously enjoyed this novel, and I look forward to more heart-throbbing stories in the future.

An engrossing story. Push is a mixed bag of life situations and hard knocks that will keep you turning the pages—never a dull moment. Push Comes To Shove is destined for best-seller status.

A positively compelling story that grabs you from the first paragraph and keeps you enthralled until the very end. A novel that [provokes] so many emotions: fear, anger, empathy, laughter, and tears. Push Comes To Shove is a tear jerker, but the end is oh so sweet.
