in the streets of Brooklyn, New York, and neither will ever be the
same in this coming-of-age story that spans decades. In the summer
of 1985, Lisa Whitaker is a church kid headed to college on a

paths diverge. Fifteen years later, Lisa has a beautiful family and
is stepping into her dream job as the director for a social
services organization. Everything is going right—until her future
is snatched away by identity theft. Her life begins to unravel, and
Lisa wants nothing more than to see the woman responsible pay for

When three women find their lives inextricably linked after a
terrible mistake, they must work together to make the most of their
futures. Alexis Marshall never meant to cause the accident that
left Jon-Jon Robinson paralyzed-but though guilt plagues her, her
husband hopes to put the past behind them. After all, he's in the
middle of selling a tech business-and if Alexis admits to texting
while driving, the deal could collapse and cost them millions.
Meanwhile, Alexis's life is not as shiny and perfect as it may seem
from the outside. She has secrets of her own. As she becomes
consumed with thoughts of the young man she hit, can she reconcile
her mistake with her husband's expectations? Trish Robinson is just
trying to hold it together after the accident that left Jon-Jon
dependent and depressed. As the bills pile up, Trish and her
husband, Dwayne, find themselves at odds. Trish wants to forgive
and move on, but Dwayne is filled with rage toward the entitled
woman who altered their lives forever. Trish can't see how anything
good can come from so much hate and strife, so she determines to
pray until God intervenes. Then one afternoon Marquita Lewis rings
their doorbell with a baby in her arms and changes everything.
Vanessa Miller's latest inspirational novel reminds readers that
differences may separate us, but if we cling to each other, God can
bring something good out of our very worst moments. Praise for

hard issues of the modern world, but Miller is a master
storyteller, who brings healing and redemption to her characters,
and thus the reader, through the power of love and faith. I

Another storm is on the horizon for the Reynolds women. And the
only way out is to go through it. Good things never happen in
November-at least not for the Reynolds women. It was the month they
lost their patriarch. And the month when fourteen-year-old Trinity
went missing during a tropical storm. So Hope Reynolds isn't
surprised when it becomes the month she walks in on her boyfriend
kissing another woman. Or when she receives a panicked call from
her mother about a mistake that could cost the family their
treasured beach house. Meanwhile, Faith Reynolds-Phillips is facing
her own financial struggles. She's also looking down the barrel of
divorce and raising a daughter who reminds her so much of her
younger sister, Trinity, that sometimes it physically hurts. The
last place Hope and Faith want to be is in Hallelujah, South
Carolina, during hurricane season. Going home will force them to
confront the secrets that have torn their family apart. But if they
can survive another storm, they'll have a chance to rebuild on a
new foundation-the truth. In the latest novel from prolific writer
Vanessa Miller, three women must find the strength to endure the
storm and the faith to believe in a miracle. "A heartwarming,
page-turning, beautiful story about family secrets, mother-daughter
relationships, forgiveness, and restored faith." -Kimberla Lawson

Tears Fall at Night: Life was good, God was blessing and the
Marshall family was riding high, until Carmella Marshall's husband,
Nelson asks for a divorce and then moves in with his girlfriend-who
also happens to be her twenty-three-year-old daughter's best
friend-her son gets arrested, her daughter drops out of college,
the bills go unpaid, and then Carmella has a nervous breakdown. The
Marshalls have ups and downs like any other family. However,
Carmella always thought that God would see them through anything.
But when Nelson left and her life fell apart, she realized just how
weak she could become, without the strength of God guiding her way.
Through prayer, praise, and a love that bonds families together,
Carmella renews her trust in the Lord and discovers a way to turn
her life around. In TEARS FALL AT NIGHT, the Marshalls discover
that even when everything goes wrong, they can still lift their
hands and praise God anyhow. Joy Comes in the Morning: Love was a
four-letter word, and trust was an even worse five-letter word that
Joy Marshall had no patience for. Young, beautiful and a successful
attorney, Joy is any man's dream, but since her life became a
nightmare after her father divorced her mother, she wants nothing
to do with the heartache that love can bring. Lance Bryant isn't
fooled by Joy's cold hearted exterior. He knew she was the one for
him at first sight, and would stop at nothing to help her find her
way back to love. But even the charismatic Lance Bryant is no match
for the pain that has been inflicted on her heart. Joy will need a
spiritual intervention that only God can bring if she is ever to
truly open her heart and mind to the possibility of love for a
lifetime. The Marshall family discovers that although weeping may
endure for a night, Joy Comes in the Morning, so you might as well
go on and praise Him anyhow. A Forever Kind of Love: Handsome and
successful in his own right, Dontae Marshall felt as if he had it
all. Especially since he'd found the woman of his dreams and
proposed marriage to her, with one stipulation -- a stipulation
that caused Jewel to hand the ring right back. Add to that the fact
that his father is out of prison and he now has to face his
feelings for the man who left him in his greatest hour of need. And
if all of that wasn't enough, his long-held secret is about to be
revealed. Jewel Dawson knew that she would love Dontae Marshall
forever the moment they met. She is willing to accept all the
baggage that comes with the man she loves. All she wants is for
Dontae to realize that what they have is a Forever Kind of Love.
Dontae must learn to trust God and to get his praise back, before
moving into his happy-ever-after with the woman of his dreams.
