A Good Read...

I really enjoyed this book. Great story line and the characters were easy to relate to. It kept me wanting to know what would happen next!

the Veil of Shame

Exciting,thrilling,realistic,exotic and thoughts provoking are just a few words to describe Angela Harris' the Veil of Shame. I could hardly put the book down, took it everywhere I went just in case I would have a few minutes to read it. Angela style of writing is one that will put her books on the best sellers list as she not only make the story interesting to read but leaves you looking at your own life issues. The Veil of Shame helps you to realize that once you stay true to God's values things naturally fall into place. Way to go Angela! I can't wait to read your future books.

In order to be forgiven, one must practice forgiveness

THE VEIL OF SHAME is a contemporary look at learning to forgive oneself. Joyce McNeal had it all, a great job, good friends, and a membership in a spirit-filled church. That is, until the very handsome and very married Terrance Marshall walked in Grace Missionary Baptist Church. That day Joyce's life changed. Helplessly, she entered into a dalliance with the good Minister that shamed her to the core and had her questioning her religious upbringing. Realizing the error of her ways, Joyce attempted to correct the problem without really dealing with it as a Christian should.On an outing with friends, Joyce met Raleigh Keelings and things didn't go well. Raleigh, however, couldn't seem to stop thinking about Joyce. Divine intervention had their paths cross again. Raleigh began to see Joyce as the woman of his dreams. Though, her introduction in his life cause several problems, he believed that she was the one and that it would all work itself out. But Joyce's past came back to haunt her. Can Raleigh deal with what he learns? Can Joyce forgive herself and move on?Ms. Harris showed readers how getting caught up in worldly sin can inflict mayhem into one's life and bring with it doubt and confusion. She further illustrates that, yes, God can forgive you, but you must also forgive yourself to be able to move on. This was a wonderful story of forgiving and practicing forgiveness. Mistakes are a part of life and they happen. It is up to each of us to learn to forgive as God forgives. This was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Reviewed by Brenda M.
