The Essence best-selling author of Somewhat Saved and Somebody's Sinning in My Bed returns with a comic novel about mistakes and second chances. When her daughter-in-law dies suddenly, Delilah Dupree Jewel decides to reinsert herself in the lives of her estranged son, Jesse, and granddaughter, Tamara. At the same time, her old ex-convict flame pops up. He's now Deacon Pillar.
VERDICT Fans of African American CF authors like Kimberla Lawson Roby and ReShonda Tate Billingsley will empathaize with Delilah's struggles to hold on to her faith as she seeks to reconnect with the family she had abandoned.
