Single and Hating It...Destined and Not Denied Denise Chand

"Hurry, God, do not delay... I'm In My 40's!" has become Liya and Zenia's mantra.

Liya, a woman after God's own heart, has had her heart mutilated by the man she has been in a relationship with for 3 years. She claims she was blindsided...or did she turn a blind eye to the warning signs? Believing he was her Godmate, God's choice for her, ignites an inner conflict she battles to overcome which leaves her questioning whether she has been called to a life of singleness.

Zenia, a woman of faith, patterned her life decisions by the yearly prophecies delivered each New Year's Eve during church service but this year all that changed. Healing from one heartache after another, and with each passing year bringing her no closer to a Godmate, has forced her to change her thinking, which has yielded results...she finally met her Godmate. Unfortunately, it has put her friendship with Liya through its darkest hour.

Rise or Fall the unspoken vow between them about their friendship. They stand together in the face of challenges and in celebration of each other, but will Zenia's betrayal be the serrated blade that severs their bond of sisterhood? Will Liya's fear of being in her 40's, single with no children and hating it, distance her from God and Zenia? Will their friendship be able to rise from betrayal, or will it fall? Will they rise by trusting God's timing for a Godmate, or fall due to what feels like His denial?

Single and Hating It... Destined and Not Denied breathes hope, sheds light in the darkness, quiets raging heart-storms and strengthens one's faith regardless of its Christian content. Its collection of short stories will expose the wounded heart and through the Pearls of Wisdom bring healing, restoration and wholeness.
