Keeping Misery
Company
Reviewed By
M. Bruner /Deltareviewer
God never put more
on you than you can
bear and Ruth is
holding God to His
Word. Ruth has lived
her entire life in
the shadow of her
parents, Bishop and
Queen Esther, as the
poster child of
Preachers kids.
After over 30 years
of marriage, she
realizes that her
husband was stepping
out on her. Ruth
woke up from the
haze that had become
her life to realize
that life threw her
a drastic curve
ball.
Keep Misery Company
is an exceptional
read. The storyline
is full of twists
and
turns while dealing
with everyday issues
-
homosexuality/AIDS,
forgiveness, teen
pregnancy, adultery,
homelessness, and
drama in the church.
The character
development is on
point as the reader
can easily relate
with the realistic
characters. Keeping
Misery Company was a
combination of The
Color Purple and
Diary of a Mad Black
Women - running the
emotional gamut
while illustrating
God's ultimate
sacrifice.
Definitely one of
the BEST and
ORIGINAL CHRISTIAN
FICTION books this
year!
