Two girls’ lives are irrevocably intertwined the summer of 1985
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
scholarship while her best friend, Dana, is floundering in the wake
of her mother’s latest eviction. Though Lisa tries to help, their
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
her crimes. When she was a teenager, Dana Jones always felt alone
in this world. Her mother was addicted to drugs, her boyfriend was
entering a life of crime, and it seemed Dana, too, was heading down
the wrong path. The only bright light was her friendship with Lisa.
Now, in the new millennium, Dana finally gives herself permission
to dream—to believe she is stepping into better days. But when
the betrayal of their friendship comes to light, it will take a
lifetime to forgive the destruction that youthful summer in
Bed-Stuy set in motion. In this latest story from beloved author
Vanessa Miller, two girls from the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of
Brooklyn, New York, find that their paths have been woven together
by the love of community and a friendship that is tested by time,
betrayal, and unforgiveness. Inspirational Christian fiction

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.

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

younger sister, Trinity, that sometimes it physically hurts. The

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,

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.
