The truth will set you free... but first it must break your chains… When Nae Nae receives a disturbing call from her best friend Veronica during her baby shower, she knows something is terribly wrong. Veronica has been changing - from her music choices to her clothing - ever since joining a new church called Holy Edifice of the Apostles. But these aren't just simple lifestyle changes; they're symptoms of something far more concerning.

I’ve never known love like this. It’s potent. Life-changing. It changed mine and now I can’t live without her. The problem is, I don’t necessarily get along with her family–not because I don’t like them. It’s the other way around. She brushes it off, but I’m against anything and anyone who threatens my relationship. My marriage. My happiness. My obsession.

At thirty-seven years of age, I haven’t taken the plunge, nor do I plan to. I’ve seen the damage love can do. It pretends to care, but then it tears a person down. It’s manipulative. Damaging. It lies. It hurts. It makes one weak. I know that all too well after seeing what it did to my dear mother. That’s why when women – beautiful, successful women – try to get my attention, I easily shun them. All of them. They see the exceptionally fine, black man with money. They know nothing of the dark secrets I carry – secrets I can never share with anyone.

When secrets come to light, the truth will set you free — but first it will turn your world upside down. Nae Nae's world is turned upside down when she discovers the man she believed was her father is not related to her at all. In a shocking reveal, she learns that Deacon Robert, the head deacon at her church, is actually her biological father. This wouldn't be too much of a problem... if Nae Nae wasn't pregnant with Ricardo's baby. Who is Ricardo? Deacon Robert's son.

Now a psychologist, she channels her need for connection into her radio show.

Four best friends. Four life-altering challenges. One unshakeable bond. Rose is weeks away from early graduation when her professor's vindictive agenda threatens everything she's worked for. Veronica's world implodes after her mother's suicide attempt forces her to confront her own buried traumas. Will she choose the path to healing, or spiral deeper into darkness?
