    This was an excellent read! Pastor Michelle Roberts was faced with a difficult decision and she chose to lie instead of telling the truth. Jeff was a horrible older brother. Instead of being supportive of his sister, he was jealous and hoping she would fall. Michelle and Jeff were both keeping secrets. But God's grace and mercy was present in this book. I highly recommend this read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story about sibling rivalry, jealousy, sin, trusting God, faith, betrayal, forgiveness, and Destiny. Couldn't put it down. Everyone can relate to the life changing events in this book. We've experienced some of the emotions and similar trials reflected in the characters. It reminds us that God's plans for our lives will come to pass. l l

    Excellent read. So many life lessons are reflected in this book. Everyone can relate to the events displayed in the characters lives. God's ways are not our ways and His plans for our lives shall come to fruition. Delayed but not denied. Awesome book about lies, truth, betrayal, sibling rivalry, family, sins, jealousy, church folks, and forgiveness.

    3.0 out of 5 stars We all fall short
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019

    I liked the human side of Michelle, in that she did what she did. I think for the most part she did it for Candace but a lot had to do with her selfishness. What I did not like was how the characters were always described.. Light skin, caramel brown. Why not just be an attractive black lady or man. All the paper bag color description - too much. Except for a few typos here and there, I did e joy the book. We all fall short even the pastor. I recommend this book.

    I really enjoyed this story. I knew Courtney was going to tell her dad, we all knew. But Pastor Girl should of went to the Police first. It's sad that she lied to everyone especially her best friend.
