From Sherri Lewis\u2019s website:
A purposeless socialite and a purpose-driven church mouse form an unlikely friendship that launches them on a journey of destiny and purpose.<\/p>\n

Keeva Banks is in danger of flunking out of grad school \u2013 again. She can\u2019t seem to get it together because she doesn\u2019t really know why she\u2019s in school. She\u2019s in serious need of a sense of purpose to give meaning to her life. Shara Anderson has that sense of purpose through her relationship with God, but could use some balance in her Christian walk. The two women meet, and their lives are forever changed.<\/p>\n

Follow them as they rediscover lost dreams, fall in and out of love, and triumph over past wounds in this story of friendship, love and pursuing an intimate relationship with God to fulfill purpose and destiny.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

==
Shara Anderson has led a sheltered, restricted life. Her parents were overzealous churchgoers, and she was not allowed to have much fun or socialize while growing up. However, once she\u2019s away from home, she discovers what it means to have a true relationship with Jesus. <\/p>\n

Due to a traumatic college experience, Shara refuses to date. However, when handsome Quinton Mercer is hired to help her with the church youth program, she struggles with their shared attraction. Can she learn to let go of her past, and learn to love Quinton Mercer?<\/p>\n

Keeva Banks encourages Shara (her newfound friend) to give Quinton a chance. As the two women work on their graduate school project together, Keeva discovers there\u2019s more to life than money and designer clothes. Keeva is flunking out of grad school and she needs Shara\u2019s help so that she can get her degree. She wants a career in counseling, and she still struggles to figure out why she\u2019s in grad school, and why she\u2019s dating a man that she doesn\u2019t even like. Something is missing in Keeva\u2019s life and Shara introduces her friend to the gospel.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Quinton Mercer has ghosts from his past that continue to haunt him. He\u2019s determined to be a role-model for the youth, making sure the young people don\u2019t make the same mistakes that he\u2019s made while growing up. As Quinton falls for Shara, he learns that he needs to release the pain and guilt that he still harbors from a tragic experience.<\/p>\n

As Shara, Keeva, and Quinton work through their issues, they learn to lean on God and each other in this engaging and entertaining novel! <\/p>\n
