Charity Phillips is a mom, divorcee, minister and therapist, but juggling all those titles get's a little out of hand when her abusive ex decides he wants full custody of their son. She has also a pen pal to a minister who happens to be incarcerated. The story shows how god can do the impossible, even when we mess up. I hope I can find other stories from this author.

Though the characters were engaging the story line had no believability.
