Phillip Tomlinson has a perfect life, until the skeletons from his closet literally come out and knock on his front door. Shelby Tomlinson is content with her cozy suburban life. She has a doting husband, a beautiful daughter and a baby boy on the way. Except for a little edema from the pregnancy and a few annoying hang-up phone calls, her world is great. Shelby is on cloud nine . . . until she learns about her husband’s secrets and lies. When an unexpected visitor shows up on her doorstep, her life is changed forever. For years, Jeana has carried a torch for her college sweetheart, Phillip; a torch which has gradually grown into an uncontrollable inferno. Each time she sees him and his happy little family, her fury increases. Jeana devises a plan to make Phillip pay for pretending to love her, getting her pregnant and leaving her destitute with a baby to raise. It is said that everything works for good in the end. Could there be any exceptions? |
Peter Jericho has spent most of his adult life living for God and serving his country as one of the few and the proud Marines. When his once solid marriage suddenly takes a turn for the worse, his wife, Jan, takes their daughter and moves in with her mother in Shelton Heights, Georgia, a community some believe is cursed. Peter loves the Lord, but when his calamity increases, will his faith decrease? As his latest tour of duty in Iraq nears an end, he is eager to say goodbye to military life and focus on reclaiming the family he loves so dearly. But his plans are abruptly interrupted when Peter finds himself a captured prisoner of war. Survival doesn’t seem likely for Master Sergeant Peter Kyle Jericho, and he finds himself in the battle of a lifetime. How his life spiraled to this point, Peter can’t comprehend. All he knows is that all was well until that day in September when his wife decided to pay her mother a visit. Are all of the peculiar misfortunes that led to the breakup of his family and his capture in Iraq just happenstance, or has the legend of Shelton Heights caught up with yet another unsuspecting family? |

Troubles Won’t Last Always is an exemplification of beauty, strength, and confidence as four women’s search for love bonds them together. Mia’s search for love takes her in all the wrong places in turbulent relationships. Imani, their rock, holds onto her sanity with prayer and perseverance. Jasmine, the extravagant one of the bunch, exemplifies the phrase “one life to live.” Summer is the more “settled” one of the group and basically maintains the peace. As their tremendously different lives intertwine into one, it becomes impossible for each woman to cope without the strength and knowledge of the others. Mia has some obstacles to overcome in her life just because she is a black woman, and a highly intellectual one, at that. Her problem is that she desires love, but love fails her every time. She discovers that perhaps a higher calling is seeking her attention. However, she feels that it’s almost unrealistic to think she can turn to God at this point in her life. The women find out that life keeps on going in spite of the pain, and when God becomes a resting place, life begins anew. |
