Jeff has finally met a girl that he truly loves. His mother, though, is convinced that Jessica is nothing but bad news. However, the more she pushes Jeff to stop seeing Jessica, the more determined he is to do so.
Jessica has lived a hard life, but says that she’s come to believe in God through talking with Jeff. In the beginning of their relationship, she tells Jeff that she believes in God to get Jeff to trust her, to care for her. But over time, and through Jeff’s love, she begins to think that maybe what he says about God is true. Can she change and become the woman Jeff believes her to be?
Nikki Arana’s fourth novel is so close to real-life, readers may forget that their reading a fictional story. Arana’s characters have a depth that causes the reader to truly care about what each character is struggling with.
While reading the portions of the book that are written through the eyes of Jeff’s mother, I agreed with her point of view. Then the author would allow us to see things through Jeff or Jessica’s perspective and I would come to understand things differently. It is a truly accurate portrait of family life and a situation that many readers may have dealt with in some fashion.
Well written and thought-provoking, this book will help readers realize that there are two sides to every story. Award-winning author Arana has penned a deeply moving story that is sure to touch many lives.
