Review Summary:
The prologue is explosive, where we read that Khadesia is marked as a "monster" or simply misunderstood. Was she guilty of a hideous, horrendous crime of murdering her ex-boyfriend? She was unable to convince the detectives, police officers, even her cell-mate; therefore, how will she prove her innocence to the judge while resting behind the prison bars. She fights to keep her sanity, put all the pieces together, and shares her past tragedy—the moment Laron was shot and laid in his pool of blood. Here, we have a woman who has been physically and verbally abused by a man who doesn't trust her, their relationship, and jealous lover who accuses her of cheating and watching her in the darkness. Later, Khadesia has a “Cinderella” lifestyle by marrying the man of her dreams—Malcolm Hill, assistant pastor of Solid Rock Ministries. Regardless of the rivalry between Malcolm and his elder brother, Corbin, in regards to passing the pastor’s baton to the next best man; debate between favored versus oldest. Then, Stacie, Corbin’s wife doesn’t want to be a stay-home mom and neither does Corbin want to step into ministerial leadership—both are pushing each other into roles they do not wish to partake in.
Dream Moment(s): So many woman have similar abusive relationships, and loved how the author(s) wrote the opening chapter with such conviction, emotion-rendered to get into the mindset/feelings of the female character, and brilliantly written to keep us on the edge of our seats with question marks that will hopefully have periods and exclamation points! Suspense and mystery is heightened just from the opening...
Dream 4 More: Mother Hill, first lady, believed in training a child the way they should go in which was her favorite quote/scripture too. However, she didn’t only speak about it or criticize how the young girls acted or dressed and decided to start “Classy Lady” classes for the young girls. We should not just “talk about it” but “do something about it”. These characters were linked so creatively and nearly attached to each one in a different perspective, well-written, and loved the story from start to finish. I hope these authors continue to write together and mesh beautiful, rich stories in the Christian Fiction genre.

Review:
"Two Steps Past the Altar" by Patricia A. Bridewell
My Thoughts....
What a wonderful read this author bring out to the reader that will definitely keep you turning the pages to see what going to happen next in Sasha Edmond's life. We find her quite a hard motivated worker as a top sales rep for Wexel Pharmaceuticlas, Inc and having the love of her life her fiance, Damien Taylor why wasn't this enough for her? After Sasha find her fiance maybe cheating why does she break off their engagement before she really finds out if anything had happened? From this situation along with her mother being ill and needing a new medication why does she become so captivated with a wealthy pharmaceutical businessman by the name of Wesley Dunbar? Well, before all of this can be explained there is still a question and that is why did Sasha have trust issues with the men in her life from her father, fiance, and now another charmer? I loved how this author brings this story out so well in this read. How will this all turn out for Sasha as 'a surfeit of lies and deception will cause a web of mixed emotions?' The reader will get a well rounded story as we see things will change mightily for Sasha as she will finally be able to open her eyes to finally see what is going on all around her. From her job, friends, her father and even Damien it will be a delightful read in seeing Sasha change for the good as she journeys into maturity coming from 'betrayal, friendships, love interest, her family and career.' In the end the reader will get quite a good read from "Two Steps Past the Altar" which presents so well a wonderful story of 'redemption, forgiveness, friendship and love.'… (mais)
