A sister is supposed to be your first best friend, not your number one enemy.Semira Richards is a saved, smart and beautiful young woman, born and raised in North Carolina country, surrounded by mountains, blue skies, and friendly faces; or at least that is the persona that she shows the world. The truth is that deep down at her core, she is bitter to her root. That bitterness comes from her sister Sophina’s treachery. Sophina chose drugs over her sister and child, leaving her teenage sister to take care of a premature baby. However, bitterness seems to be a family trait because Sophina had it too. She was jealous of her sister’s accomplishments and constantly sought new ways to be a thorn in her side.Now, all grown up, Semira wants to move on with her life and feels it’s time to adopt her niece, Nalani, and give her the life that Semira never had due to an abusive father and passive, overbearing mother. Somehow, Semira overcomes the odds that are stacked against her and turns her adversity into a successful career that continues to thrive, but because of her sister’s perfidy, she has a hard time connecting with men. Love is the one challenge that seems to beat Semira every time. However, at the urging of her best friend, Mariah, she goes out to a club and meets NBA star, Carmine Pontiero, whom she likes. But just as things are coming together, they fall apart.The father that terrorized her and her family so long ago has returned and it’s a life or death situation. If that is not enough, a hidden family secret is revealed, and Semira’s ready to throw in the towel as bitterness, brokenness, and betrayal reign over her life. However, the Bible says in Ephesians 4:31, "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice."Will Semira follow the Word or the world?

First time reading anything by this author. This book was very good. It captured my attention from the beginning. Semira went through so much and grew up so fast. The secrets she held pertaining to herself and those protecting her sister was so deep and shocking. I hope this family can over come the hurt they have dealt with in this book for the Semira and Naliani's sake.
WowMira is a good one Cuz oooooh weee everybody would have heard my mouth but thank GOD for GRACE & MERCY! Suffering in silence an entire family all the secrets wow then u leave me hanging lol come on part 2 !!!!
This book started off slow for me. At first I couldn't understand Semira but I kept reading. I hurt for her, I saw why she had trust issues. I'm waiting to see what happens in the next book.
This was a very heart felt story and I truly hope Semira finds happiness and that everything works out well for her and her daughter.
