"A terminal breast cancer diagnosis shatters Kendra Woods' life and dreams. But through the hurt and the pain, she learns to view her life - however many days that includes - in a new way. Kendra Woods has always known success. Raised in a prominent black family in well-to-do Clayton, Missouri, she had high aspirations for herself and, thus far, has met them. After graduating from law school she went to work at a prestigious law firm. Now she's just made partner and in one month will marry the man of her dreams. And it's only the beginning. Kendra envisions herself becoming a judge one day and she can't wait to have kids. But a terminal diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer shatters her world - weeks before her we...dding. Kendra is devastated as the reality sets in that she could have no more than two years to live. Her fiance leaves, and as word travels around the firm, she's no longer given big cases. Kendra is angry with God and feels her life has already ended. Her path keeps crossing Lance's, a troublemaker who briefly attended her high school. Kendra has trouble letting go of the person he was a decade ago and can't believe an encounter in jail turned his life around and he's now leading a church plant in Clayton. He's becoming the unlikely source of hope she needs. Kendra is in the midst of a storm - one that's apparently here to stay. But, the hidden blessings may be just the shelter she needs"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

With trademark understated elegance, Tate (The Color of Hope) refreshes a familiar story line. Extraordinary love develops between Lance Alexander and Kendra Woods after the latter receives a terminal breast cancer diagnosis and is dumped by her fiancee. Before she learns she is dying, Kendra has everything a woman might want. Her diagnosis draws her closer to an ardent faith and to Lance, an ex-convict who has turned his life around and dreams of becoming a pastor. This is a sweet love story written with uncommon grace, weaving in subplots about infidelity and other complications that haunt each character. But they come to learn that a combination of faith and love are necessary to enjoy life, no matter how much time that life is given. This emotionally charged addition to Tate's body of work is neither sappy nor trite. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
