In the Presence of My Enemies
Kara Bentley, the child prodigy from a small southern town, has grown into a talented and beautiful young woman living in New York City. With hopes of attending Juilliard to become a world class pianist, Kara is on the fast track to winning the hearts of many, especially the one of up and coming film director Wendell McGuire. But will the advances of another woman steal the hopes of them ever being together?
Melissa Peterson serves as a strong support system and best friend to Kara. She’s there to offer moments of encouragement as Kara faces the evils from an oppressive home life with her guardian sister, but will their friendship last when Kara uncovers a heavily guarded affair?
Determined to defeat all odds stacked against her, Kara struggles to make it to the top. Will her determination prove to be enough as unrelenting trials attempt to suffocate any hope she has of leaving the projects, love for the man of her dreams, and most importantly the faith she has in God?

Uplifting
What I especially loved about this book was young people living for and studying the word of God. Best friends Kara and Melissa lived polar lives - Kara, in poverty and Melissa, in the lap of luxury. They both had challenges to overcome and they both sougt guidance from above. Kara, though, beared more than you would think her shoulders could allow. Her faith, determination and humbleness were remarkable, proving that she was truly grounded in the Word. This is a must read.

Renee Allen McCoy, has the ability to cause you to fall in love with her characters and some, not so much! This is what Renee does to keep me wanting more. This book was a unique, delightful and powerful read; definitely a story of faith and love for me. I look forward to her upcoming release, Single, Saved, and Searching. I'm sure there will be a few characters that I will love to not like, lol! I highly recommend this book.
