Publisher Description
Author Michelle Stimpson has drawn praise from both readers and critics for her sassy, realistic characters. Her edgy Christian fiction focuses on the redeeming power of God during times that test the strength of family bonds. Blamed as a child for her baby sister's death, Dianne Rucker swore she'd never come back to Dentonville, Texas. But the kind aunt who took her in after her mother abandoned her is getting remarried, and she misses the cousins who came to be sisters, Yolanda and Regina. Going back to Dentonville also means facing her drug-addicted mother, now is slipping even farther into schizophrenia. But Dianne isn't the only one struggling, and Aunt Gloria may have the most life-altering secret of all. The women must look to their faith in God as they attempt to turn their lives around like Saul on the Biblical road to Damascus. Also check out Stimpston's acclaimed Boaz Brown (F0195).

"An easy read, what I enjoyed about this book most is how it challenges me and everyone to see people as humans and siblings in Christ before all other parts of themselves. It really takes the WWJD to a whole other level. "

" A great book for where I am now in my own life. Not only a charming romance but it also speaks to a topic that generally is not discussed or explored. Also I love fiction which includes the prayers of its hero/heroine. "

" Great book. Takes a look at prejudice on the other side. I think we're all guilty on some lever, but if we're Christians we need to be honest about it and learn to get past it. "
