Erika Wilson found the courage to leave her abusive husband after his vicious attack on their fourth anniversary. Spirited away to Naomi’s Nest in another city, God begins to speak to Erika through her mentor, Charlotte. The plans He has for her are for good, not for evil. When she discovers she’s pregnant, panic sets in. Should she return to Elliott who would provide well for their child? Or will she be able to make it on her own?
Serena and Micah McDaniels moved into their dream home after he took over the pulpit of a rapidly growing Richmond church. Their happy marriage was marred by miscarriages, but their faith remained that they’d have a family one day. Micah’s strong desire to preach what the Spirit put into his heart did not set well with the upwardly mobile members of his church. They felt he should preach prosperity; Micah wanted to preach God’s word. At odds, Micah must make a decision about his future, and that decision will affect Serena’s upcoming invitro fertilization process.
Serena and Erika were friends in the past. Erika realized she could reach out to her Christ-loving friend in her time of need. When these two women share their hearts, God allows a suitable resolution to many problems. Unforgiveness is shed and lives begin to mend. As only God can do, hearts heal.
Stacy Adams has written a page turning novel of truth faced by many in the pews. Socially pleasing sermons with candy coated words. Abuse raining down even in the high society classes. She’s tackled these issues with a sweet story of redemption and peace. I thoroughly enjoyed her work and look forward to more.
