Come Through, Benitta: Seamstress On Fire

By Shirley A Franklin and Ashley Dowell

"Come Through, Benitta" is the anticipated sequel to Shirley Franklin's "Aunt Juicy's Wayward Family," continuing the saga of the fictional Bridge Family. In the first book, Benitta, along with her city-dwelling cousins, reluctantly spent summers with their assertive Aunt Juicy in the countryside-a tradition that persisted until Aunt Juicy's passing.

From her teenage years, Benitta exhibited a passion for sewing, often bringing more fabric and design materials than ready-made clothes on these visits. In this sequel, her dedication leads to her selection for a prestigious fashion design contest, where she must craft an elaborate dress for an anonymous yet prominent client. Despite having fewer credentials than her competitors, Benitta perceives this opportunity as divinely ordained, motivating her to deliver her utmost effort.

Guided by her steadfast faith, Benitta challenges prevailing fashion industry norms, emerging as a formidable advocate for modesty in fashion. Her journey reflects the teachings of Aunt Juicy-to "stand out in the right way, for the right thing"-as she navigates the complexities of her vocation with conviction and grace.

"Come Through, Benitta" delves into themes of faith, perseverance, and the courage to uphold one's principles in the face of adversity, offering readers an inspiring narrative about pursuing one's passion while remaining true to core values.
