“Another great book by Victoria C. Murray!!! I actually read this book a few years back, however, I could not remember the title nor the author. I donated books to a few co-workers and this was one of them. When I saw it on a friend's shelf I saw the picture and screamed "that's it." So thanks, Holliwood1367, a lot! A great read which should help us all strengthen our faith and remember through the storms of life GOD is always working in the background. Very realistic and may hit too close to home for some of us. Not too little of this or too much of that.....just right, as always. Good read. ”

Grace is a newly elected councilwoman who's carefully being watched due to the fact that she's a Christian and used it as her platform. Grace has a number of ideas, one being returning prayer back inside public schools. Connor, who's a fraternal twin, has a successful law practice with his twin brother. The loving power-couple have two daughters Jayde, and Amber.
As Grace starts to work on implementing her education programs, it appears that the past is rearing its ugly head. Before Grace found out what it was to be one of "God's Children", she'd been involved in and on and off extra marital affair with her first love. Through time, love, and God, Connor and Grace were able to reroute their bumpy road and "dance through their storms!" BUT as the clouds slowly clear another storm lies in wait....
People of faith face real problems!
Connor's former assistant Pilar, who just one day disappeared, is back! As she reveals her reason for leaving, Connor has to face the fact that he's hidden his "OWN" demons from his marriage, and now it's time to reveal that secret, and deal with the consequences. As he searches for the words that might possibly destroy his family, Pilar constantly reminds him that there simply isn't enough time for him to adjust.
As Grace tries dealing with her husband's news, she's saddled with her adversary Sara who's just searching for anything to show the constituents that she wasn't right for the job.
Mabel; Grace's older and VERY competitive sister. She's a motivational speaker who has assumed the name Starlight. It appears that Starlight believes in the power of money, instead of the power of God.
And then there is Jayde, their 15-year-old-teenager. Her attitude and behavior have Grace contemplating child abuse.
Grace is slowly sinking in a never-ending bottom as she struggles with her faith as she's being tested in every way.
Will the Monroe's survive and thrive these latest challenges?
This is my first read by Victoria Christopher-Murray. My mother, and my "BESTESTEST" Lisa, are both fans and have read all of her previous work and the two of them consistently talked about how engaging this book was. How personal that it became. It's a very emotional read that truly electrifies you.
This book is AWESOME! Keep God in the lead of your life!”
“This is the first book I have read of this author and she is an excellent writer. This was a great read. The structure and flow of the storyline was one of the best I have read. I was never bored at any time, in fact, i always wondered what the next chapter would bring. I actually rate the book a 4.4, only because she could have given a bit more drama. ”

“I've read Victoria's books out of order. So I am reading this one now. I started out with A Sin and a Shame first. Then I will be caught up so I'll go on with the X-Files which I already purchased when met with her over the summer. I love all of her books especially Joy.
