Years later, Grace has graduated with first class honours, begun a promising academic career and found love with Lawrence, a brilliant Christian lecturer.
Then, on the morning before their wedding, the unimaginable happens.
Grace's compulsory pregnancy test returns positive.
She insists she has never slept with any man, but a second test produces the same result. The news spreads through the church, and those who once mocked her standards give her a cruel new name:
Holy Mary.
With the wedding only hours away, Grace's reputation collapses. Her pastor is embarrassed, the marriage committee demands answers, and even Lawrence begins to wonder whether the woman he loves has been living a secret life.
When another hospital test also returns positive, Grace must decide whether to surrender to shame or continue standing on a truth no one else can see.
Can faith survive when the evidence appears undeniable?
Can love withstand doubt?
And what will happen when a respected professor discovers that the test everyone believed may not have told the whole story?
Holy Mary: When the Evidence Lied is a compelling Christian novel of faith, romance, temptation, betrayal, medical mystery and vindication. It is a powerful reminder that public opinion can be certain and still be wrong, and that truth deserves patience.
