A review by shannanh
Faith Alone by Terri Ann Johnson
5.0
Most couples are excited to find out that they’re possibly expecting a little bundle. Not so for Brian and Lachelle Jackson. Twenty three years ago, Lachelle lost a baby because of preeclampsia and almost died herself. On the day it’s confirmed, the unthinkable happens. Brian, being a good Samaritan, is gunned down in the street. Not only is Lachelle forced to endure this pregnancy without her husband, Even though she has her two best friends Tracy and Vanessa, as well as her first child’s Father, John supporting her, She’s continually concerned about whether she or her baby will make it through this pregnancy alive.
The story is wonderfully descriptive. Reading it was like watching a movie in my head. This story will have you in your feelings, as I got emotional and cried at several parts of the story, Especially near the ending. But you will also feel the joy and the love of God. You will also look at a couple of the characters with a side eye, for example the ghetto sister of Brian, as well as the Pentecostal aunt who wants to catch the Holy Ghost at a baby shower (please don’t get me started on those two).
Another thing that came to mind while reading this book is that while people should be punished for the crimes they commit, but sometimes we have to extend grace (just like God does for us) to others because we all could be in the same situation after making a mistake. This was an amazing book for a first time author, and I am excited about the continuation.
An Edited Version is scheduled to appear in the next issue of the Naleighna Kai Literary Café Magazine.
