Can I Get An Amen? January 10, 2008
After witnessing the suicide of a church sister, Minister Francine Amen is disgusted with herself for turning against the young woman and refusing to accept her claim of abuse by their pastor. Now, after a short stay in a psychiatric hospital, Francine is trying to pull her life and her ministry back together. But first she must face all of the people she has hurt so deeply—including her younger sister, Dawn. But can Dawn trust her? Francine used to date Dawn’s husband, Sly—who now seems just a little too interested in Francine’s recovery. As far as Dawn is concerned, Sly would be better off spending his time making amends to her for his own sins. (To buy the book, click on the cover)
