In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Reverend Curtis Black series, Curtis's secret past returns in an unwelcome—but ultimately healing—visit.
Rev. Curtis Black is no stranger to scandal. Throughout the decades, he has done much in the public eye, both good and evil. But what most people don't realize is that Curtis has been hiding a horrific childhood that has affected him in countless, unspeakable ways.
His buried past resurfaces when his estranged sister becomes alarmingly ill and his youngest child, twelve-year-old Curtina, becomes the kind of problem daughter whom he never imagined she could be. This is only the beginning.
The horror of Curtis's childhood secrets, as well as Curtina's wild and rebellious behavior, takes a critical toll on Curtis and the entire Black family. All the public scandals they've experienced over the years now seem like child's play compared to the turmoil they are facing in private. Who could have known that the deepest wounds would come from within?

      The final book in the long-running series featuring the Reverend Curtis Black, including A Sinful Calling (2016) and Sin of a Woman (2017), is full of Roby's trademark drama, surprises, forgiveness, and hope. Curtis is shocked when he learns that Trina, his long-estranged sister, has only a short while to live. Curtis spends every possible moment reconnecting with her, even though this makes him remember his abusive childhood and parents he has never been able to forgive. Curtis' current wife, Charlotte, is depressed over having to fill the relentlessly stressful role of First Lady of the church Curtis founded, Deliverance Outreach. Then her father has a heart attack. With no break in sight, she returns to alcohol for relief. Curtina, their youngest, now 12, has become extremely disrespectful and addicted to her smartphone. Charlotte then learns about a more serious situation at her daughter's school. The Black family weathers extreme challenges well throughout Roby's best-selling series, and this title is no exception as they find their way back to their faith and each other for the saga's fitting conclusion.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
