"All Things Work Together for Good..."

Daria Simpson is a strong devoted Christian with a rewarding career and loving Aunt Lenore, who has reared her since age eight after the death of her parents. Although content with her Christian walk, Daria is restless with being single. As a Black educated man with a lucrative job and no children, Michael Greer would be considered a good catch if it weren't for his "ghetto" ex-girlfriend and his quest to "hide" from God. Fear and humor bring Daria and Michael together and sparks of a true romance begin to burn, but only after Michael surrenders his life to God. In her debut novel, with the skill of a master storyteller, Toni V. Lee conveys realistic Christian relationship issues with applicable solutions. Ms. Lee teaches powerful lessons on Christian dating, forgiveness, and family values without making you feel as if you're being preached to. I loved the wisdom, directness, and hilarious humor of the older women in this story. I hope Ms Lee's next novel is a sequel. I highly recommend this book to single Christians who are dating and to those struggling with forgiveness. Reviewed by Wanda B. Campbell for The Culture Clique Book Club

A Christain Love story you must read

Daria Simpson has been praying for the Lord to send her a man for the longest time. All she wanted was a nice Christian man that she could share her life with. Well, the Lord was about to answer her prayers, she just didn't know it at first. Michael Greer was on his way home from work when he discovered a familiar person following him. Not knowing what else to do he began banging on his neighbors door for entrance before the stalker caught up with him. Yes, he realized it was a little silly to be hiding from his ex-girlfriend but she was seriously psycho. Shaniqua was Michael's ex and just couldn't cope with the fact that he dumped her. She even vandalized his SUV and made a scene in the grocery store. Michael was beginning to think she would never leave him alone. Little did he know with Shaniqua's antics that she would actually be doing him a favor. Michael renewed his relationship with God and found the woman he has been longing for. But let me tell you, this story is not all sugar coated. There are trials and tribulations the couple must endure. Even a few monsters here and there; not fuzzy scary creatures, but the monsters of Lust. The death of Daria's longtime friend Peaches, opens up a whole can of worms. And with nosy Aunts in the picture no amount of privacy is in this story. Can Daria and Michael work through all the trials and tribulations in their relationship? They have prayed and prayed but will God see to answer their prayers accordingly? I was captivated by Ms. Lee's enchanting story about Christian relationships. It shows the true power of God's will and what prayer can accomplish. Just when you think you have hit rock bottom there is always one person you can talk to, you just need to step up and ask Him to listen to your prayers and wait for all things to be set right in your world. I am awarding Ms. Lee 5 hearts for this uplifting story. This is sure to bring many laughs and even a few tears to your eyes.
