A Light into the Darkness (Twisted Roots)

By Shelly Goodman Wright

Description:

“I want to tell you something now, something you should know just in case something happens to me. I’m not sure how much time I have.” Samuel stopped and shook his head at the night sky as though it knew the secret he was about to reveal. “There are magical places that exist in this world, Jess. Places that the Master Architect created to balance good and evil. The time will come when you will leave this house and enter into another life that awaits you. A life you deserve and one with a greater purpose. You don’t know how special you really are.”

For years, Jessica lived in torment by her mother. Her only enjoyments were playing the piano and caring for her coma induced father. Close to her twentieth birthday, her mother forces her to agree to an arranged marriage or she'll have the the life support machine keeping her father alive, shut off. Jessica, having no choice, agrees, but hours later she finds her father cold as ice. She knows then she has to escape her prison, or she’ll end up just like her father.

Book Takeaway:

There is a God who loves us, but there is also a dark side tugging for our souls.

Why the author wrote this book:

I've wanted to be a writer since I was ll years old. With all the current teen novels pointing to the guy to make the girl happy, I wanted something that showed our relationship with Jesus is what completes us. But it's okay to get the guy too. :-)
