Fifteen years of struggles and pain was scared on the heart of Josiah. He has experienced so much loss and rejection that even after fifteen years he still wrestles with his past.
This novel is remarkable as all books by this author, I truly appreciate her art for creating fictional but realistic characters that anyone can relate to. I love how the writer incorporates a bit of drama and romance in her novel without exhausting the two literary forms, each was moderately used which didn't make the novel overdramatic but it still sparked interest and curiosity that was enough to keep a reader stimulated and engaged. I love authors that put a little twist in events, I can always depend on Bellamy to keep me on the “edge of my seat”,this book was truly worth buying and it’s a great avenue to escape your own world and step into that of another. I was truly encouraged and ministered by the characters’ personal relationship with God, the book was not saturated with scriptures but it was still spirit filled. The references to worship songs by the famous saxophonist Antonio Allen was appropriately inserted in various scenes of the novel that allowed the reader to sympathize with the character Josiah as he tried to find that peace in God.Personally, I love the part where the Bishop was counseling Josiah about his issues, this part truly spoke to my spirit and I found comfort as I even began to think about my own pains and heartaches.
For fifteen years Josiah was tormented by his past, but in a week God undid all that pain and replaced it with love and Joy. Indeed your latter will be greater!!!!.
This is a great book written by an exceptional author, so purchase a copy or borrow it at you local library.
