Reviews
In this anthology, four authors tell inspirational stories about life, love, and faith. In "Signs of Light," Thomas tells the story of Brittany, who puts off college when her son is diagnosed with leukemia. Lorna Hamilton, a local merchant, writes her off as a young, unfit mother living off of welfare. When their paths cross, they both finally see the light. Tate Billingsley writes about Faith, a young woman who uses her body to gain the affection of men. She was raised by her Bible-toting grandmother, who shattered her self-confidence. "Faith Will Overcome" is about true love. In "Maybelline," J.D. Mason shares Olivia's struggles with breast cancer. Maybelline always appears with words of encouragement when Olivia is at her lowest. In "Survival Instincts," Lynn Hayes has had her share of disappointments. Instead of being bitter and vengeful, she has chosen to survive and forgive. When she is mugged and a stranger attempting to help is shot, she reaches out to her attacker and her Good Samaritan to share her wisdom and compassion. Lillian Lewis

Synopsis
Three national bestselling authors join talents in a multi-dimensional novel that illustrates the importance of love, family, and forgiveness.

After a lifetime of womanizing, making babies, and then disappearing and taking no responsibility for his actions, Amos Davis has finally reached an impasse—literally crashing his car down a one-way street. It may be the only road to redemption for the aging musician, now afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, for it has brought together the three daughters he abandoned. But when it comes to their deadbeat dad, their hearts may already be sealed…

Cass, the child of Amos’s mistress, has had enough heartache, from losing her mother to the tragic end of her marriage. Amos was never there for her—why should this talented cake maker be sweet to him now?

Toya, always the “other woman” in her affairs with married men, was deeply scarred by Amos’s public denial of her existence years ago. Will seeing him again send her further down a troubled path?

A gifted writer, Tomiko channels her pain into her stories of the father she never knew. In her imagined world, she is safe—but will she ever risk her heart on real love?

A powerful interplay of memory and reality, this emotionally taut novel weaves the voices of three authors to deliver an unforgettable tale of one man’s struggle to make peace with his failures, his family and the destinies of those who must forgive to move forward with their own lives and dreams.
