This suspense-filled and emotional novel is based on the author's real life.
Buffy is a well-rounded professional black woman who grew up in the inner city in a strong, supportive family. They weren't perfect or wealthy, however, they were rich in spirit and had a lot of love for each other. Her parents separated early in her life, but her father was still very present. He taught his daughters what to expect, what not to accept, and how a man should treat them. He was a great father until the end.
Without the means to go to college where she could meet professional men, Buffy has a limited selection of black men to choose from for marriage, and competition is fierce. But she finally accepts a proposal from Evan. She often wonders what her father would have thought about him. Judging by her brothers' reactions, he probably would not have given his blessing.
Buffy and Evan's relationship is extremely tumultuous from the beginning, which affects their lives in every way. It is a real test of her faith and ability to trust God. As divorce looms over them, she realizes that Evan may have been placed in her life to distract her from fulfilling the true purpose God has for her life. She finally understands why it is so important to have a close relationship with God.

Kelli Prather was born and raised in Cincinnati in a family of 13 children. She has several degrees, including an MA in occupational therapy. She is working on a post professional degree in occupational therapy with an emphasis in public policy.
After becoming a licensed occupational therapist, Kelli moved to New York City where she worked in settings such as the New York City Department of Education, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health. She spent her free time volunteering in shelters for battered women and the homeless. This volunteer work compelled her to become an advocate for social change with the goal of creating legislation to bring awareness and to help obtain resources for organizations that provide services for these often forgotten populations.
Kelli then returned to Cincinnati and entered the civic and political arenas, where she changes people's lives by empowering them to start their own businesses. She has spent more than 25 years advocating for vulnerable, marginalized, oppressed, excluded, and disregarded communities. She fights to protect the political, educational, social, and economic rights of all persons. She also works diligently to eliminate inequality, racial discrimination and inequity in all communities.
