The First Lady Darlene Grant

Basking in the sun, twirling her pearls around her fingers, Helen pondered their humble beginnings watching her husband, Pastor Payton Roosevelt, stroll from one group to the next flashing his pearly whites. Today, he reminded her of the young man she fell in love with twenty-seven years ago. Closing her eyes, she imagined herself engulfed in the aromatic atmosphere charged by his scent, embraced in strong, dark arms full of sensual messages. Every soft touch emitted electrical current pleading to connect, to become one. He ravished her and every thought that desperately fought for her attention dissipated. One single thought melted into every crevice of her mind, "I love this man." Unaware of the stalking darkness that began an all-out attack on her family and church, Helen is confronted with life-altering events. She staggers through the devastating debris of infidelity, secrets, and lies, into a process of confrontation, decision, and declaration. Will Helen walk away from God, husband, and church? A heart-wrenching saga with piercing insight into spiritual reality and the Word of God's Power.
