This award-winning book earned Olivia Shaw-Reel several awards and award nominations, and served as her second #1 best-selling book! ___ Since she was a little girl, Jamaika Owens has been trained to be the perfect, God-fearing, and submissive wife, and has the life everyone wants. Lavish living, a handsome husband, and she never has to lift a manicured finger. But behind her facade and dimpled smile, she lives a lie that not even her closest of kin knows. When infidelity arises and deception enters her marriage, she realizes her happiness is most important and is not to be compromised. She falls for a man who changes her entire perception of love and answers her soul’s cry.
This book was an awesome read. Jalen treated his wife as if she was nothing when he was not in the pulpit. He was a pastor who thought he could have mistresses, a wife and a church and little did he know that he was going to loose it all. He left his wife to be with his twins mother whom the wife didn't know that the same woman that she disliked was the same woman in church whom bared his kids. After having miscarriages of your own you see that your husband has 2 kids to throw in your face and speak to you as if it is your fault that you can't have kids. Then a gentleman you meet comes into your life under different pretenses and change all of that. God was not pleased with all that Jalen had done to his wife. Preachers in the pulpit are sometimes the devil in disguise. Awesome read.

This wAs such an amazing story! It was so well written! I’m impressed by this author’s writing style… my first book by her! It definitely won’t be last! It was so refreshing to read about Christians who trust God through the trials and find out that He keeps His promise🙌🏾
What an awesome read! Jamaika’s story is heartbreaking because she is married to a wife abuser, cheater, killer, and pastor. She tried so much to stay with this awfully horrible monster-preacher, but at every turn he beat her physically or beat her down emotionally. He does finally let her go on her way. Jamaika needs to find herself after the abuse she has endured. Pastor Jalen has everybody fooled or covering for him. But he’s a non-human monster.
