In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Reverend Curtis Black series, Curtis's secret past returns in an unwelcome--but ultimately healing--visit.

Rev. Curtis Black is no stranger to scandal. Throughout the decades, he has done much in the public eye, both good and evil. But what most people don't realize is that Curtis has been hiding a horrific childhood that has affected him in countless, unspeakable ways.

His buried past resurfaces when his estranged sister becomes alarmingly ill and his youngest child, twelve-year-old Curtina, becomes the kind of problem daughter whom he never imagined she could be. This is only the beginning.

The horror of Curtis's childhood secrets, as well as Curtina's wild and rebellious behavior, takes a critical toll on Curtis and the entire Black family. All the public scandals they've experienced over the years now seem like child's play compared to the turmoil they are facing in private. Who could have known that the deepest wounds would come from within? Family Life Christian Fiction Heartfelt African American Emotionally Gripping Fiction Coming of Age Genre Fiction

Being a dedicated fan of the Curtis Black Series this book did in fact bring the story line full circle. It was beautiful written and read. Curtis has come full circle as with Charlotte. This book was an enjoyment thru and thru. No need for a follow up book cuz this book answered all the questions of what happened next up until a full year after the ordeal. Just what my tastebuds wanted. Loved, loved, loved it!

Just what I was waiting for
