What if you had done something so unimaginable in your past that you felt you could never be forgiven? John Mikale, a man with a checkered reputation, can’t begin to shake his guilt for the hurt he’s caused his daughter, Chastity, and how it scarred so many people in its wake. Although an uphill battle, John diligently strives to make up for lost time by writing Chastity letters hoping to bridge the gap. John, who's now married and expecting another child, is haunted by cryptic dreams from which he awakes in terror. Driven to become a better man, he forces himself to face his nightmares and the reality they represent. Searching for decency within and hoping for a flicker of acceptance from Chastity is the only way he knows to release his past and heal both their wounds. But how can he expect forgiveness when he can’t begin to forgive himself for the hurt he’s caused? Chastity Wayne, finally free from her mother’s past, is ready to move on with life. On the verge of a great relationship and about to start her burgeoning art career, she’s sucked back into her family saga as she breaks her personal promise never to read her father’s letters. From the moment the first envelope is opened, the emotional freedom she’s tried so hard to find is slowly reclaimed word by word. Facing Redemption is a dual storyline that follows the path of an unwanted father and daughter’s journey, through a trail of self-awareness and final acceptance. It is also a continuance of the many unanswered questions from Finding Kylie, book one in this series. WARNING -I write about characters that struggle with real-life issues. My characters, to date, have never done the deed. In fact, they've chosen the right path with abstaining from their desire for the right reasons. However, this book will touch on the subject - so be aware. Why does a 'Christian' author talk about such things? I believe Christians are sinners, and we're saved by God's grace. We're NOT going to be white as the driven snow, and if you think Christians should be you're kidding yourself. HOWEVER, I believe by accepting Jesus - that God gives us the strength and desire to be more like Him when-when we're searching for His influence in our lives. We're not all going to be there out of the gate and even when we do finally reach that point - we're going to fall and stumble. Why? Because we sin. It's human nature. Even if we don't want to - we're going to mess up. That's the beautiful thing about building a relationship with God. He takes us 'where we are' (hence characters in this book who are going to say something or do something questionable) and brings us to where He wants us to be. Isn't that what it's all about? Knowing that we all can come to Him, no matter how badly we've screwed up? This is the whole point of GRACE! So, heads up to those who have been offended by this - or those who may be offended by this - please know God loves all of us -right where we are - and that's whom I'm called to write about.
