About the author
Anna K. Payne
45 books31 followersI spend my time staring into a computer screen whether working, writing, or editing. That’s why it’s so fun to hang out with my grandson, children, or walk outside. But burning easily makes it difficult to spend much time outdoors.
I come from a family of writers: my mom, my grandmother, and several other family members. When I'm not at the computer writing or editing, I'm discussing plots with any one of my children.
I do ask the advice of my cats. They have good ideas. The world holds a variety of sinister plots even if it is just someone waiting for the bus.
Check out my devotionals including Driving with Anna and Christian Cozy Mystery books including Planted Flowers series and the new Emily's Cat Mysteries.

Recently divorced Jasmine feels like she has failed everyone; her husband, her kids, and herself. Her ex-husband left her for a younger model, her daughter blames her for the divorce & won’t speak to her, and her son broke his leg as a call for attention.
While making a new friend, a mistake made at a women’s shelter leaves Jasmine in danger and doubting her safety. She seeks the help and guidance of her bible study group the Planted. As she finds a new job and perspective in life, Jasmine is brought closer to God and those she loves.
This is the fifth book in the Christian suspense series, Planted Flowers. As with the other books in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.

Jasmine crumbled when her husband divorced her. With 2 children, 1 in college and the other living with her, she wrestles with inadequacies. It doesn't help that her daughter blames her for everything, and worse, would rather be with her dad's girlfriend. Jasmine's son needed attention and his cry for help brought her to her knees, but does it give her the wake up call she needs to move forward?
Through Planted, Jasmine begins working with women at a shelter and really makes connections. She begins to thrive, but mistakes bring more haunting situations to her. I really enjoyed this story. There were errors not caught by editing, but that did not stop me from reading this in one sitting. I did not want to put it down.Jasmine's story is a nice addition to the Planted women's group.

Trusting God To Lead Our Steps
This book is part of the Planted series. This is a strongly faith filled series that discusses God in our lives from a Christian perspective. The series is an ongoing story-line about a group of women. Part of the story most likely won't resolve until the final book. I recommend reading this series in order. I received this ARC book for free and voluntarily chose to post my honest review.

This story deals with abuse, not just physical but also emotional abuse. Jasmine lets God use her to help other abused women and in the process she receives the emotional healing she needs. With the support of her Planted bible study group she finds confidence to trust others.

God can change hearts.
Verbal and emotional abuse is just as damaging as physical abuse. Separation is sometimes necessary to allow time for prayer and a clear mind. Book #6, here I come.
