After the Fall
Summary
How do you reach for the stars when you've fallen so far that all you can see is darkness? Abigail Walker and Jarvis Daniels, longtime sweethearts, are beginning to find themselves worlds apart. Abby, an aspiring cellist, wants out of her humble Detroit surroundings and is more than willing to shed blood, sweat, and tears to make it happen. Jarvis, on the other hand, is perfectly content with his life. He's got everything a man could want, including the love of a good woman. A twist of fate turns their worlds upside down when the couple is involved in a near-fatal car accident. Broken, stripped, and broken again, they stumble through a journey of healing and self-discovery while struggling to accept the merciful hand of the only One who can help them after a fall. After the Fall is the story of two people - one fleeing the world into which she was born, the other embracing it - bound together by the threads of fate. Will they discover the dreams awaiting them, or will they tear each another apart in a desperate bid to find fulfillment on their own terms?

Saving Grace
Summary
As the only daughter of a successful businesswoman, Grace grew up with nothing but the best. Sheltered by her single mother and educated in an exclusive private school in Detroit, Grace was not ready for the harsh realities of an unforgiving world. Grace's naivete coupled with her desire to experience life on her own terms leads her down a path of emotional devastation and physical abuse. Through a chance encounter, Grace meets Mike, a successful design artist who introduces her to a relationship very different from her usual one-night stands and affairs with married men. Things take a turn for the worst, however, when Grace's roommate walks in on her and her married personal trainer in their apartment. This betrayal tears apart Mike and Grace's romance and shatters the trust and friendship between Grace and Trina. In the midst of torn relationships, Grace's mother dies in a tragic plane crash, leaving Grace with no one left to turn to except the God she thought had long since abandoned her.

Fall from Grace
Summary
"Grace fights the lump rising in her throat. For a moment she is lost in thought, remembering what it has taken to get to this point..." Grace Cambridge is a young Black Christian with a new husband, old friends, and a shocking moral dilemma. A proverbial "cat fight" opens the story and draws you into a complex relational web. The audiobook peels through layers of dysfunction between Grace and Trina and follows their individual, sometimes intertwining, lives, to reveal how they find their way back to Christ and to each other. Grace is intelligent, determined, well-spoken yet vulnerable. You want her to be happy, you want her to succeed. Grace's Christianity isn't sugar-coated. Her faith is real and so is her life - riddled with plenty of twists, turns, and conflicts. As Grace's relationship with God is challenged she questions her identity and is faced with a life-changing decision. She deals with everyday issues, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Grace's experiences are not much different than yours - how she handles them might be.
