"When you listen to the voice your life will become clearer"

Mahogany Malone and Jennifer Jones were raised in the same world but by totally different methods. Mahogany was raised with a strong religious background, while Jennifer raised herself. As the two grew into adulthood their roles reversed. Mahogany began to run from the truth, after she witnessed an act with her own ears that she could not deny. While Jennifer, after a near death experience embraced God and realized God is what was missing in her life. Her relationship with Mama Malone, Mahogany's flourishes once she turns her life over to Christ.One look at Mahogany after she was born and her mother knew the name and the beauty behind it was befitting. Throughout the life of Mahogany her mother would often say, "Mahogany, the dancer, a strong woman, unwavering in her faith, with the body of a bird that can soar. I am not sure I saw the strengths of Mahogany as I did her weaknesses. I guess her strengths were profound in the way she persevered at fighting the world alone and running from God. A God her mother taught her long ago, that would not forsake her. Over the years, something happens that causes Mahogany's faith to falter. Her mother tries desperately to help Mahogany see her strengths again. The realization of this will take a tragedy for Mahogany to get back on track.Sha' Givens spins a wonderful tale of redemption, faith and desperation for love. Through the Storm, is the cold reality of life and what happens when we step away from faith. This was an excellent read however; I had one small issue with the book. Some of the words used were different. For example the author used words like "beef roast" instead of "roast beef." After moments of thinking I realized this did not take anything from the story it only showed diversity in how we express our differences. MissyAPOOO Book Club

This is a compelling story about loss, hope, and redemption. It is an emotinal roller-coaster ride. Pushing one to experience laughter and complete dismay. Showing that if you let go and let God it is never to late.
