Forever an Ex.

Pastor Beverly Ford's trio of prayer support members has many things to offer up to God in Murray's (The Ex Files, Never Say Never) continuing tale of grown women facing serious relationship issues. Asia, Sheridan, and Kendall all deal with ex-lovers or husbands maneuvering their way back into their lives. Murray places her main focus on Asia, a trophy girlfriend who is certain she'll pry Bobby Johnson, former NBA star of the Los Angeles Lakers, away from his wife. What this woman, who has roots stretching back to Compton, doesn't realize is how her reckless lifestyle has a direct effect on her daughter, 11-year-old Angel, who is Bobby Johnson's biological daughter. A second story has Sheridan unwittingly damaging her marriage by helping a sorority sister come to terms with Sheridan's ex-husband's closet homosexuality. In the final novella, Kendall is unwilling to forgive her sister for sleeping with Kendall's husband, a scandalous act that happened six years ago and ended her marriage. Throughout this lengthy work, there's plenty of drama and everyone is emotionally damaged but must ultimately turn to prayer to heal relationships.
