As the teenaged pastor's daughter of New Hope Church, Sharonda Peterson knew finding comfort in Carl's arms was a mistake. But how could the only night she ever felt beautiful be wrong?
When Carl leaves town to pursue an acting and singing career, Sharonda relegates herself to a life of church service--and solitude--rather than face the pain now associated with that one night.
Carl Ray Everhart has been caught up in the fast pace of fame … and female adoration. But a near-death experience has him questioning everything and vowing to set things straight … starting with the love that got away.
When Carl returns home to serve as the worship leader at New Hope, Sharonda finds that it takes every ounce of her resolve to resist his pursuits … not to mention memories that threaten to overturn the delicate balance she's created. Can she finally surrender the one thing she's tried all these years to protect: her heart?
My Review
Being a Preacher's Kid is not easy. I saw a lot of myself in Sharonda, especially with feeling the need to make my parents happy and ignoring my heart, the insecurities of life, as well as the weight issues she dealt with. This story will cause you to truly take a good look at yourself and ask, are you following God and your heart and are you truly living your purpose. There were also themes of repentance and forgiveness woven throughout the story. This was truly a God inspired read, and I'm hoping Sharonda's siblings will have stories in the future. The characters depicted real life people making real life mistakes. The Author did a great job with this story, and I can't wait to read more from her.
I received an advanced copy and a review was not required. All thoughts and opinions were my own.
