Paula Mann is the stay at home mom of one son, Micah, and just learned she’s pregnant. Paula is married to a non-believer doctor named Darryl. She struggles with the long hours of time Darryl devotes to his job and wonders if it’s more than just his job taking him away from home.

Belinda Stokes received a phone call a month ago about her mother’s breast cancer. Her husband, Thomas, decided it was best for her to simply go live with her mom three hours away in Baltimore, Maryland to speed up the recovery process. Belinda is overwhelmed with all she has to do.
All of these women of various life walks meet in the P.O.W.E.R, Purpose Oriented Women Equipped and Righteous meeting. And God uses them to help each other and see life through different eyes. They realize that perceptions of each other aren’t always reality.
I think the thing I liked most about this book was that you could definitely see yourself in at least one of the characters. You could tell that God pulled each of these women to this meeting whether they had originally intended to go or not. That God’s plan for their lives was greater than their own. By the end of the book you will be laughing and crying with this group of women. The characters are written so well you feel as if you are talking about your new friends instead of a book you just read. I felt myself lifted up and came to the realization even if I don’t know what God has in store, He does.
