Hitting the Nail on the Head

I couldn't put this book down. Williams touched on a few issues that the black community have a hard time dealing with. Celia is a strong woman who depended on her faith to get her through her storm. The emotions were so real. This is one book that I strongly recommend everyone to read.

A Story Of Betrayal

Celia and Khalil Alexander had the ideal marriage and two beautiful children named Kaleia and Caleb to show for it. Little did Celia know that Khalil had a little dark secret that he's hidden from her for over fifteen years. After a business trip cut short, Khalil's dark secret was revealed. Even though Khalil tried to deny it on so many different occasions, God made sure that Celia's eyes would see Khalil for who he was...dark and twisted. Celia is determined to make sure Khalil pays for his crimes, but Khalil goes through great lengths to keep her silent. Celia tries to gain strength through God to get over the obstacles that have been placed before her. Celia will soon find out that with God, all things are possible. T.N. Williams has done an outstanding job with this story of betrayal and what it really means to put all of your faith in the Lord. In Something On The Inside, it seems like you can feel every emotion that Celia goes through. You will see the heartache that Khalil puts her through, and the revenge she sets out to get once she realizes what demonic acts Khalil has committed. With each character, the author did a good job explaining how each person was affected by the betrayal and the separation that happened. In this day and age, we as a community frown upon seeking professional help with matters that occur with our families. T.N. Williams went into great detail on how we need to embrace going to God for help, but seeking professional help is not such a bad idea either. I commend the author on this book. With reading Something On The Inside, you will soon learn how certain topics are not mentioned in our community, church, or even in our families. This was a great read, and I would highly recommend this to anyone. Reviewed by Jackie for Urban Reviews

Page Turner!

This book was excellent. I was hooked from the first couple of pages and I couldn't put it down. This is the first time I've seen a book on this subject, and it was dealt with very well. I won't give away any of the story, but I definitely recommend it. The only downside is that there are a large number of typos and wrong grammar usage (i.e., "to" instead of "too", or "loose" instead of "lose"), but it does not affect my rating because the story is so well written.

A Victorious tale: God delivers even from the depths of hell.

Something on the Inside is a triumph. Author TN WIlliams has penned a believable tale of the ultimate betrayal and what it means to truly depend on God's grace. You felt each heart wrenching emotion and carnal urge of revenge that main character, Celia had to endure. Antagonist, Khalil Alexander demonstrated how deep mental illness and addiction can run and how hard it is to admit the problem and seek help.The events were brillantly paced making this book a real page turner. I found it impossible to put the book down until it was done. The couples two children, Kalea and Caleb, Celia's Twin sister, Alicia, and their parents round out the cast of charcters and show the true effects of betrayal and separation on the family. The author did a good job interweaving the specific details of this type of abuse, as well as,seeking counseling that has long since been frowned on in our community. In the end the author uses the right topic to show the extent of God's love and deliverance. It leaves you wondering what you would have done in the same situation and questioning the strength of your faith. In the times we are living in its good to check your relationship with God every once in awhile.

something on the Inside

I just finished reading this book. This is the the best christian fiction I have read. And it's reality. I read a couple of pages of the book,and had to stop reading to composed my thoughts. You just never know who the person you married. I love the Scriptures quoted in the book. Celia is a strong woman of GOD, she held on to her faith and what she believes in. Anything is Possibe with GOD, when we take matters into our hands, we add more to our problems. This is a book worth reading. What it's about is surprising. First Christian book I read on this topic.
