The first book in Maytee Aspuro y Gonzalez's trilogy, Hesed tackles one our most controversial modern-day issues. Hesed is the story of two very different women, Reverend Elizabeth (Beth) Kelly, an Episcopalian priest and Nicole Thera, a respected business woman and the owner of a popular local nightclub catering to the gay/lesbian community. Despite tempestuous beginnings and at times against their better judgment, the women establish an unorthodox friendship that will eventually challenge the young priest to rethink all she's ever believed about her religion and about herself.

The second book in Maytee Aspuro y Gonzalez’s trilogy, Agape follows Elizabeth (Beth) Kelly and Nicole Thera as they begin a new life together facing not only the challenges of any new couple adjusting to differences in styles and ways of life - but of two people with some very deep-seeded philosophical differences. Beth’s faith impacts on all aspects of her life and is now both a source of joy and a source of anguish. The biggest challenge to her faith resides in her home in the form of a partner who simply cannot accept Beth's god. Meanwhile, Nicole finds herself facing a crisis of her own as she starts to realize that she's always going to have to share the woman she loves with a god she cannot honor. With the love between them the one undeniable truth in their lives, these two women will try to breach the gulf separating them. It's a challenge that will require compromise, honesty, patience and above all else - faith in one another.
