And You Call Yourself a Christian

2012

Out of all the divas at New Day Temple of Faith, Unique has to be the most colorful one—she and her mother Lorain, that is. Never one to hold her tongue in the name of keepin' it real, it's no surprise that Unique has not been saved all her life. It's safe to say that Lorain wasn't born on the church pew either. Let the church folk tell it, the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree when it comes to Unique. Lorain—once known as the tight skirt, V-neck blouse, too much makeup-wearing leader of the New Day Singles Ministry—claims she's there to look out for her daughter and try to keep her in check. But how in the world does Lorain think she can even begin to keep her daughter on the straight and narrow with her own crooked life? Some might say Lorain has failed miserably as a mother when Unique ends up in jail for three counts of murder. One who would agree is the woman who raised Unique while Lorain was out living her life freely. As an all-out war takes place between Unique's birth mother and the woman who raised her, will Unique have any support while she fights for her life behind bars? Will all forsake her while they are too busy with their own agendas? Only God holds the answer to this one.

The Perfect Christian

2012

Without Mother Doreen, there never would have been a New Day Temple of Faith Singles' Ministry. So it's bitter-sweet for the single saints she's leaving behind to see her go. Having thought she'd never love again after the death of the only man she'd ever been with in her entire life, when Mother Doreen is proposed to by a pastor from her home town, she can't imagine turning down a gift from God. Although excited about where destiny is taking her, Mother Doreen is a little nervous embarking on her new role as a pastor's wife. But all agree that Mother Doreen is going to make the perfect First Lady. After all, no one has known her to be anything other than a perfect Christian. But before vows can even be exchanged, Mother Doreen's imperfect past comes back to shatter everyone's thoughts about her. And it's going to take God, Mother Doreen facing her past, and the support of all the single ladies for this fairytale wedding to go down. Otherwise, Mother Doreen's happily ever after might quickly turn into a sadly never ever.
