God's Child

by Christopher J. Moore

All Ray Peterson ever wanted was to escape the rough, unforgiving neighborhood he grew up in; for him that meant working hard... all the time. Eventually, Ray's life would include all the trappings of a good one; a flourishing business, a big house and nice cars. However, the sacrifices he made to get there cut too deep. It isn't until tragedy strikes that Ray realizes that his family needed more.

This book was a pleasant surprise. It celebrates the modern African American family in a way that most readers dont see in today's media.
God's Child pack and powerful emotional punch at the end that will bring all readers to tears while making them thankful for their family.
