PAIN . . . HOPE . . . CONFUSION . . . LOVE?
Not long after a group of college friends start their junior year, a series of events are set in motion that will change their lives forever…
Rondell is a good-looking, smart, confident young man who seems to have it all, but he hides the pain of his past. He grew up in the foster care system and experienced a series of traumatic incidents that rocked him to the core. He made it out of that life, but it hasn’t let go of him yet.
Faleesha has just transferred to this college to make a fresh start. She is focused on building her relationship with God and leading others to Christ, but she encounters many stumbling blocks – distractions, persecutions, drama, and a growing attraction to Rondell that excites her and scares her at the same time.
Gesston has had enough. He’s grown up in church, and Jesus is all he knows. He has friends but no girlfriend, a good reputation but no street cred. He meets Faleesha and is convinced she is the woman for him.
Shelly’s been in a number of relationships, none of them good. She’s tired of players and wants true love, the kind of love her friend Rashonda has with Tyrone, but she just can’t seem to find her soul mate. Then Gesston asks her out, and Shelly is sure that she has found the man of her dreams. But Gesston can’t hide the truth forever, and everything unravels the more he tries.

Magnificent
I'd come across this book before and read the synopsis and decided it wasnt for me since there seemed to be a lot of characters. Yet something brought me back to it and I'm glad it did. The transition from character to character is smooth and enjoyable. The tears I cried reading this book as the characters each came into their own is no small feat. The lives and trials of these friends are so intertwined you can help but to love them all, even Chris. This book has been a whirlwind of emotions and reminds me of the times I've backslidden and found my way back to Christ. It truly warmed my heart and I cant wait to see what is in store for the gang in the sequel.

LOVED IT!
I think this book would be a great hit with young readers, walking in faith. Sometimes it can be so hard to keep marching. Faleesha was my favorite character; such a sweet heart.

God sent
I give this book 5 stars it was a good storyline about how we all fall short and God keep forgiven us. This story reminds me of how different paths taken all will lead us back to God.

Awesome book.
Awesome story. I did not want to put my tablet down. I am a female, but I related mostly to Rondell's character.

Meaning
This book has so much meaning, I love how everybody came together at the end. I hope Felicia and Randell gets married because they really love one another.

I enjoyed this book. Everyone will go through thing in their life, but we must not turn our back on God. Instead of running from God one need to run to God. A group of college friends go through a bunch of events and things will change. I enjoyed the relationship with Rondell and Faleesha.

Enjoyed this story
I truly enjoyed every page of this well written story. A different read from my norm, but it is well worth reading. The characters are all interesting, likeable,and dealing with some real life issues.

This book was good. It was about a bunch of college students and their daily challenges in life. There were lots of ups, downs, relationship issues, childhood memories, (good & bad) and religion. It was a really good read.

Didn't hold my interest. Think I got this off the YA shelf because it's written for them.

Not for me
This book was not for me. The book dragged on and on. I also did not realize it was a religious book either.

Ahhhhh
How awesome it is to see young people wanting to live for Christ. It's not easy and they have real struggles, so thank you. I can't wait to read the next book.
