Have you ever read a book where something out of the ordinary happens and it makes you want to have a few choice words with the author, but you're trying to live right, so you can't say what you really want to? Well, that's what happened when I read this book. Now I saw Pat a few weeks after I finished, and I told her several times throughout the weekend that I was a little upset with her about what happened.
In Defense of Love is a story of two people who are out to change the world through the Justice system in America. Criminal Attorney Shari Carmen, a gifted musician and a bomb attorney that fights and wins for her downtrodden clients is great in the court room, but unlucky in love, especially when she get's back handed "complements" that she's pretty for a dark skinned lady. She meets US Marshall Garrett Nash, who is also a musician, and had to relocate after a scandal at his family's church. As they make beautiful music off and on the court room, are they ready for what's about to happen. One of my favorite scenes was when Garret's Patriac grandfather was at the hospital, a cousin brought a bootleg minister that was praying over him, but Sherri is well versed in spiritual warfare and stopped demons from committing destruction.
There were several truths through out this book. Colorism is still rampant in our community, (which to me is still a stupid way to judge people), and The book will make you question if you really know what it means to say completely Yes to God. Now let me also say this book is Christian Fiction, so you might feel convicted when reading it. It was one of the best and most christian thought provoking book I've read this year.
