Edited by Marilynn Griffith Paperback: 240 pages Ashamed No More Every woman needs a safe place to bleed...a quiet place to
scream, and friends to dress her wounds. She needs the support
of sistahs who won't cringe at the honest truth, who are willing
to walk by her side, who will listen to her stories, and who
will offer balm to heal her wounds.
Paperback: 336 pages Fifteen years ago, Zeely Wilkins and Ron Jenkins were students the school district stopped believing in. Lucky for them, their teacher knew something the principal didn't; they were cream of the crop but they just hadn't sprouted the way people expected. Though they went their separate ways, the past is calling them back to the school and the teacher who wouldn't give up on them. Now they'll have to decide what love really means--and whether they're willing to dance to a new tune to get it. But can they rediscover the songs of deliverance that once brought them together? Or will secrets keep them apart?
Paperback: 432 pages Grace Okoye was a promising young dancer when
her career was cut short by a brutal assault that left her
scarred for life. Twenty years later, when her past gets in the
way of her happiness, she heeds the invitation of her dance
instructor and returns home to help hurting children and
rediscover the rhythms of grace. What she doesn't expect is to
meet a man who already seems to know her beat. But for all they
share in common, the biggest thing in Grace's life is noticeably
absent in his--faith. She's finally found the love of her life,
but can she choose between him and God?
