Publisher Description
Mother Doreen thought she'd never love again after the death of her first love, so when a pastor from her hometown proposes, she sees it as a gift from God. As the founder of the Singles Ministry at the New Day Temple of Faith, her departure is bittersweet for the single saints she'll be leaving behind.
Mother Doreen is a little nervous embarking on her new role as a pastor's wife, but everyone agrees that she will make the perfect first lady. After all, no one has known her to be anything other than a perfect Christian. When her imperfect past comes to the forefront, however, her image is shattered. Even with the support of all the single ladies, it's going to take the hand of God for this fairytale wedding to happen. Otherwise, Mother Doreen's happily ever after might quickly turn into a sadly never ever.

Skeletons in the Closet
WOW! This storyline was engaging; it left you wanting to know more about what the dark past held. We all have met that person who is holier than thou. The Perfect Christian reminds us that we all fall short of the glory of God. Some people put on a facade while others believe in, I am who I am faults and all. Which person are you?
Doreen found herself in a dilemma on her wedding day. The dark secrets were exposed to the congregation before her wedding vowels by someone connected to her past. Would you run or confront it? The author intertwines the character's history and bad choices to help the readers understand Doreen’s lifestyle. Dealing with the past, Doreen had to seek forgiveness. We learned the power of forgiveness and how it can heal the soul. It will release you from bondage so you can live.
On a personal note, I had issues with Doreen’s sacrifices due to her religious beliefs about marriage. I struggled with her parents' influence on her decision, which caused her to act a fool about her former husband. I believed she suffered more because she was trying to be this perfect Christian. She strongly disagreed with her sister, but I can see why things happened the way it did. We have to accept that life is going to have its ups and downs. God gives us free will. You cannot please everyone!
