**Note, although this book has an inspirational message, it’s a mainstream title.
Have the sins of the mother come upon the daughter?
Jasmine Larson Bush is finally living a drama-free life. She’s left her lying, cheating, stealing stripper days behind and is standing by her husband’s side as the first lady of one of the largest churches in New York City. The Bushes have been blessed with the best of everything—including two lovely children.
But just when Jasmine has committed her life completely to God, her daughter Jacqueline is kidnapped from a mall the day after Thanksgiving. The police and the church community join in the frantic search to find the four-year-old. As the days pass without any sign of her daughter, Jasmine begins to crack under the strain and turns to Brian Lewis, Jacqueline’s biological father, for solace.
Has Jasmine’s past finally caught up to her? Will her daughter be found or will Jasmine pay the ultimate price?

This book was kind of hard for me to read since I’m a mom. I wondered how I would react if someone took my child (who is five) away, and I don’t know where he is for weeks? I think I’d react much like the character, Jasmine, in Sins Of The Mother.
Jasmine has lived a sin-filled life. Going through previous VCM books, you’ll see that she’s slept with her best friend’s husband. She’s lied continuously, cheated, whored…a whole assortment of things and now she wonders if God is seeking vengeance
against her by allowing her daughter to be kidnapped.
Jasmine turns to her daughter, Jacquie’s, biological father, Brian Lewis for comfort. Brian looks just like Jacquie and being around Brian settles Jasmine’s mood a bit.
Meanwhile, Hosea, Jasmine’s husband, wonders about the attraction that Jasmine now harbors for Brian. Also, Brian is dealing with his own troubles. He’s desperate to win back Alexis, his ex-wife. His marriage folded because of his sexual addiction, and now that he’s cured, he’s determined to win Alexis back.
This book was a real page-turner. You’ll get through this book quickly as you read about the characters getting through the issues and drama in their lives. It was a very enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to VCM’s next book.
I also wanted to point out that if you like VCM then you should try Rhonda McKnight’s books. Victoria’s page-turning style reminded me of the books that I’d read by Rhonda Mcknight.
