By Michele Andrea Bowen
After her husband of 15 years leaves in search of more excitement, Yvonne Fountain Copeland returns home to Durham, NC, to find peace of mind and renew her closeness with God. There, she meets basketball coach Curtis Parker, on his own spiritual journey. Featuring some characters from Holy Ghost Corner, Bowen's fourth novel is a feel-good story full of humor and hope, and readers will relate to the characters' determination to move on with their lives after facing difficulties. Recommended for public libraries, especially those with a demand for titles that feature African American characters. It may also appeal to fans of ReShonda Tate Billingsley (Let the Church Say Amen) or Sheilah Vance (Land Mines). [See Prepub Alert, LJ 3/15/08.]
