Why the author wrote this book:

I live close to Ferguson, MO. When the city started burning, I went to a worship tent erected in the area to seek the Lord with others from my church and other churches. There, I went forward for an altar call for creatives. I believe the Lord planted the idea for this story series inside of me. I knew I had to add my voice as part of the solution to the turmoil swirling around me. Love bridging the divide. I wrote book 1 so that I could write book 2. This was the story on my heart.
