For A Reason

Like Shakespeare’s Othello, Andrea Ashburn loves perhaps not wisely but too well. Taught that God has a plan for her life, she feels secure in her friendships and rewarded for her devotion. But disturbing developments raise questions: how can she reconcile God’s plan with the negative things that happen? Why did being chosen leader of her church’s youth group expose her to sexual advances by the youth minister? Later, in college, why must her ministerial student boyfriend choose to drop her to atone for the guilt of his own lustful desires? Such questions persist as she moves into her early adult years. Then a disturbing trauma, coupled with events that seem preordained, make a jumble of her best intentions. Forced into painful examination of the beliefs upon which she has based her life, she feels that her future is in jeopardy…and so it is. —- ISBN: 9798889820635
