Yet again another hit! This book had me thinking of God deeper instead of looking at Kendra death as a loss it was a win because so many people got save, hearts were healed, there was forgiveness and restoration 😮💨😩🏃🏾♀️ Lord I thank you for blessing the author with all this talent for people to listen to, to know you Lord to get closer to you!!! I love all the books I have read so far! I can't wait to read more of her books.

A true blessing
Reviewed: 11-18-22
I never realized how weak my prayers had been until I heard the prayers in the book! I love the relatable storyline between the 3 friends. And how they dealt with each situation between the friends my favorite is Syd and how she stood her ground and was so disciplined for God! How they prayed for and about everything. my relatable was Phil story is some what similar except the part with her husband mom having an affair with the pastor instead when he was in the streets a pastor husband brought drug from him and he couldn't believe it... so he decided that all pastors and ministers are probably on drug. It's a struggle for him to come to church... still praying about it...

I loved every chapter some chapters was so sad and hurtful, it brought me to every scene that was described. I felt all the emotions in every chapter. Sugar was a good person who had a rough life and by God's grace saved.... what was so thrilling was the twists and turn of every chapter... this should be a movie
