Testimony

by Felicia Mason, Peter Jay Fernandez (Narrated by)

After eighteen years of firm faith, Roger McKenzie is questioning his calling as leader of the gospel choir, The Triumphant Voices of Praise. Not only have the Voices failed to achieve commercial and critical success, relationships within the choir are unraveling, turning the once-harmonious group into disillusioned and bitter strangers.Tyrone Thomas, Roger's cousin, has always been his best friend and staunchest supporter. So he can't understand why his own wife, Georgie, seems intent on driving a wedge between him and Roger. For Georgie's part, there's something about Roger she doesn't trust. And while she has the feeling he's hiding something, she's been keeping secrets of her own - the kind that could destroy her cherished marriage. Pampered, privileged Margaret Hall-Stuart has the voice of an angel, but her uptown airs alienate the other singers. Margaret's determined to make a play for Roger - until someone else in the group opens her eyes to a world she's never imagined.When Roger begins to receive hateful, anonymous messages, the whole choir is plunged into an ordeal that tests their spirits. It's only by facing their pasts, their demons, and their limitations that each of them can overcome the obstacles within....

Seems like it took forever to finish. Too much to follow and try and keep up with and no it wasn’t the ending I expected but so thankful it was over. Somehow I knew Margaret was being duped again the way he swooped in and was so ready and willing to make everything better for her; he was just too good to be true!

Roger McKenzie was the founder and director of Voices of Triumphant Praise Gospel Choir.
They was going on a tour and ended up having an accident and because so much was happening Reverend Vince told Roger that maybe it wasn't meant to be but he wanted to continue but after singing in D.C Roger decided to halt the rest of the tour. He was trying so hard to climb that ladder so fast.
Roger started having nightmares because he was keeping a secret and than he finally told Ty his cousin and the Reverend that years ago he was stressed and depressed because he didn't win the contest and he started drinking and got behind the wheel of a car and ended up killing this lady in a hit and run accident.

This was a new author for me and I really like Ms. Mason's story. There were so many characters, at times I found it hard to keep up. But in all fairness, I think it was more so because I had the audio book. I would have to start parts over just to make sure who they were talking about.

The characters themselves were very entertaining and diverse. The author did a really nice job weaving a web of interconnected stories that were very real. I think I've seen this choir perform a time or two.

I was with the book for a while, but the ending upset me a bit.
