            In Madison County, in the town of Canton, Mississippi, the community knows they are in the good hands of Pastor Joseph Jenkins. (Richard T. Jones) They feel his steady guidance all through the week. One day, while driving, he sees a young, white woman stranded on the roadside, alone, her car broken down and overheated. She is a college student and her name is Brittney. (Kelly Pendergraft) Pastor Jenkins helps her, calls the tow truck and offers to drive her where she needs to go. On their way, the Pastors beautiful wife, Vivica Jenkins (Robinne Lee) calls, a shinning example of strength and motherhood for the parish, Vivica - is in labor. In a rare moment of panic, Pastor Jenkins, distracted from the road, but driving recklessly - crashes. Though he and the young white woman, Brittney, are unhurt, tragically, a family is killed. As Pastor Jenkins survives the sad court proceedings and goes back to his daily life of good works at the local FIRST AME CHURCH OF CANTON, we quickly realize that there is much more to his life than his parishioners are aware. There are serious financial troubles in the church, secrets the Pastor shares with his closest employee, Samantha, (Maya Dunbar) the Church Secretary and unexplained agendas. As well, though Vivica has born two beautiful, healthy twin girls, there are problems simmering in the Jenkins marriage. Because there is also a deep love and mutual respect, they both keep their searing conflicts very private, but they are threatening to boil over.Vivica wants a closer relationship with Joseph, wants him to spend more quality time with her and their newborn babies. But its not just that. As a highly intelligent and accomplished woman, though Vivica knows her first and most important new job is being a good mother, she has long wanted greater support from her husband for her need to use herself for positive pursuits in addition to standing behind him and raising their children. The main concern that keeps Pastor Jenkins from satisfying his wife's desires in his all consuming efforts to save the Church, a 100 year old institution. Dealing with many challenges, including the sudden retirement of long time church leader, Deacon Bates, (Kevin Benton) due to health reasons, Pastor Jenkins is trying to oversee his ambitious brainstorm to create funding for the church and invigorate local employment.Following the case of Pastor Jenkins reckless moment on the road - is Detective Herbert Lewis, (Adam Lazarre-White) his own family gone, due to a similar fate a fatal car accident. The driver of the car that killed his wife and children is a local politician who has enjoyed a successful career, seemingly unaffected by the day that changed Det. Lewiss life forever. Det. Lewis doesn't really like Pastor Jenkins, who he sees, along with other public figures, hobnobbing with the very politician who killed his family. More than that, Lewis recognizes Brittney not to be a college student at all, but to be a girl he arrested several times for prostitution, in his work as a Vice Detective. When Pastor Jenkins is acquitted and no blame assigned, Lewis cannot accept it. He knows something is wrong with the whole situation. Something is unexplained. Against orders from his captain, Captain Kittridge, (Tucker Smallwood) and the advice of his partner, Lewis pursues both Brittney and Pastor Jenkins, watching them, sniffing around for something, anything, that can shine a light on what he is convinced is an ugly underbelly. ...But is Lewis just obsessed with the tragedy of another family killed senselessly in a car accident like his own?Det. Lewis cannot seem to find anything really wrong with Pastor Jenkins accept to stumble on the fact that he appears very close with the Church Secretary employee, Samantha. While his cops nature - and his own personal agenda to catch Pastor Jenkins in wrongdoing might suspect the Pastors infidelity, Lewis sees nothing illegal. He does discover, however, that Brittney is still a working girl. She has graduated from street-walker to private escort, her services now secured through a high-end online entity. Lewis stakes out Brittneys home and follows the trail.Furthermore, it is revealed to us that the entity that runs Brittneys escort service, is in fact, shockingly, Pastor Jenkins Church. Though Samantha manages all details, payments and profits, Pastor Jenkins is well aware that the money for his parking lot, the payments for long held, overwhelming debts and his now flourishing church, many thousands of dollars each month - is funded by the buying and selling of these young womens sexual services.After catching Pastor Mckenzie, a regular customer of Britneys, Det. Lewis uses that leverage to arrest Brittney, and discover more about her employers. He is led to the First AME Church of Canton, Samanthas phone and ultimately, Pastor Jenkins. This time, when Pastor Jenkins is arrested for running the prostitution ring, there is no escape. Joseph Jenkins is defrocked, and sentenced to the maximum high fines and 3 years at the local penitentiary.Joseph deals with the degradation that faces any prisoner; and he must learn to create a trust with the other men with whom he is imprisoned.

When he reads that one of the young women who were prostituting herself in his employ is found dead, he reaches his deepest depths. He works in the prison to find new purpose and a new voice. After three years of repentance and rehabilitation, Joseph has grown wiser, more humble and rededicated himself to the purpose and principles that led him to become a pastor in the first place.While all sins leave scars and all paths have obstacles, Joseph finds that some healing has taken place over time. His babies are now little girls. He has lost many things he can never have back. All is not forgotten, but there is forgiveness and hope to continue on his journey to be a better man.

Caught in the Crossfire


            From Publishers Weekly-This perceptive, uplifting chronicle shows how much Simon, a creative writing professor at Bryn Mawr College, had to learn from her mentally retarded sister, Beth, about life, love and happiness. Beth lives independently and is in a long-term romantic relationship, but perhaps the most surprising thing about her, certainly to her (mostly) supportive family, is how she spends her days riding buses. Six days a week (the buses don't run on Sundays in her unnamed Pennsylvania city), all day, she cruises around, chatting up her favorite drivers, dispensing advice and holding her ground against those who find her a nuisance. Rachel joined Beth on her rides for a year, a few days every two weeks, in an attempt to mend their distanced relationship and gain some insight into Beth's daily life. She wound up learning a great deal about herself and how narrowly she'd been seeing the world. Beth's community within the transit system is a much stronger network than the one Rachel has in her hectic world, and some of the portraits of drivers and the other people in Beth's life are unforgettable. Rachel juxtaposes this with the story of their childhood, including the dissolution of their parents' marriage and the devastating abandonment by their mother, the effect of which is tied poignantly to the sisters' present relationship. Although she is honest about the frustrations of relating to her stubborn sister, Rachel comes to a new appreciation of her, and it is a pleasure for readers to share in that discovery. Agent, Anne Edelstein. (Aug. 26) Forecast: A blurb from Rosie O'Donnell and an author tour should pique women readers' interest.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From School Library Journal-Adult/High School-When she received an invitation to her mentally retarded sister's annual Plan of Care review, Simon realized that this was Beth's way of attempting to bring her back into her life. Beth challenged the author to give a year of her life to riding "her" buses with her. Even though Simon didn't know where it would take her, she accepted. During that time, she came to see her sister as a person in her own right with strong feelings about how she wanted to live her life, despite what others thought. Not everyone on the buses, drivers or passengers, liked or even tolerated Beth, and it shamed the author to realize that she sometimes felt the same way about her sibling. As the year passed, Simon came to the realization that "No one can be a good sister all the time. I can only try my best. Just because I am not a saint does not mean that I am a demon." The time together became a year of personal discovery, of acceptance, and of renewed sibling love and closeness. Clear writing and repeated conversations allow readers to hear the voices of both sisters. There is much to mull over, to enjoy, and to savor in this book.Peggy Bercher, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
