What a surprising twist. This was an awesome tale of 4 women - Faye, the pastoral counselor for her husband's church whose harboring a secret that may put all of her parishoners' to shame. Elise who finds out the the man she is seeing is married and has 2 kids; Renee who is pondering doing something with a client that she becomes friendly with, and Tess whose husband is a deacon in the church and chasing everyone in town but her. It's a book about the choices we make and how we affect ourselves...more

good book...i have read to books in the past by this author and found both of them fantastic. i did feel it could have had more detail, lasted a bit longer, and did like how the ending between elise and her "man"
Read this a while ago and oddly, I can't recall much of this book. But, I remember it was really good! I remember thinking there would maybe be a sequel.
J. D. does it again! I love the way she tells a story..speaking as a black woman, she gets us to thinking about our own issues and I cab really relate.
Boring, to say the least. Too much/Not enough going on.
I cuoldn't tell what each character had to do with the other, even if they were in the same room.

Mason is so motivating, i keep pushing toward a new day waiting on her next novel:)!
Typical story about a cheating pastor of a mega church.
This book was awsome and would read it again later on down the road.
I would recommednded it this to a first time reader. Always something good going on never a dull moment. Lookinf forward to pick up something else from the author again.

I have had this book for years and cannot finish it. It is not a bad read but for some reason I cannot finish it.
Loved this book.
This was a very well-written book. Two powerful lessons to learn in reading this book, NEVER have an affair with married person and NEVER sit in judgement of others, especially when your house is not in order. I give this book 3 1/2 stars.
Excellent book. I really enjoyed the characters and the writing.
Kinda "churchy", but okay.
