"Divorced, single mother Lisa Hampton is grateful for a fresh start after a humiliating scandal forced her to relocate from Maryland to Ohio. Her biggest issue nowadays is dealing with her rebellious teenage daughter, Chanelle, who is one smart comment away from being toothless!
Other
than the stress of dealing with Chanelle, life is perfect. Lisa has a
new beau and a steady job that allows her the opportunity to rub
shoulders with very wealthy and influential people. She is best
friends with Isaac and Olivia Scott, an extremely rich and powerful
couple.
When
Chanelle accuses the Scotts’ son of rape, Lisa learns how quickly
her friends become enemies as Olivia and Isaac use their wealth and
power to manipulate justice. The Scotts prove that they are willing
to go to extreme lengths to protect their son, even if it means
destroying both Lisa and Chanelle in the process."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Yolanda Sanders
Yolonda
Tonette Sanders took a leap of faith in 2004 when she resigned from
her job with the State of Ohio after only three and a half years to
focus more on writing. It was a leap that she has never regretted. In
2005, her debut novel,
Soul Matters, was
published by Walk Worthy Press and Time Warner (now Hachette Book
Group). In 2008, her second book, Secrets
of a Sinner, was
published by Harlequin/Kimani Press. That same year Yolonda started
Yo Productions, LLC, a Christian based literary services and
theatrical entertainment company, which she used to launch and create
her first stage production. The theatrical version of Soul
Matters debuted
successfully in September 2009 at the Capitol Theatre in downtown
Columbus, Ohio. Since then, Strebor Books, an imprint of Simon and
Schuster, is planning to release four of Yolonda’s titles by April
2015. Currently, Yolonda resides in Columbus, Ohio and is the loving
wife of David, proud mother of Tre and Tia, and joyful caregiver of
her mother, Wilene.
REVIEW
Where is God when life seems to just be a sh** storm with no proverbial or literal light at the end of the tunnel? People have wrestled with this question since Biblical times. Toss in today's issues - drugs, rape, selfishness, power, greed...you name it (really, these are age-old issues) - and you have a mucked up place that desperately calls out for a Savior to set it right. Or in the very least, to walk with us when the sh** hits the fan. But what if those fans keep on coming? And if we feel alone? Where is God then?
