Essence (Paperback)

Rachael was raised as a Christian in Atlanta, Georgia. As a child, she had the ideal home and family, with lots of love and support. Her parents taught her right from wrong, and to always do what is right. Changes begin taking place in Rachael's life; her best friend dies, she loses her grandmother, and the man she falls in love with betrays her, and quickly, her life takes a downward spiral. She turns her back on her family, God and her faith. After many ups and even more downs, Rachael wants to get her life back on track but doesn't think she has the strength to do it. And where would she begin? Will Rachael be able to restore her faith in her family, her faith, and her God? And if she does, she wonders if her family and God will accept her after her hard fought journey? Ertha M. Thompson resides in Holly Hill, South Carolina with her husband and children. She, along with her husband, Minister Stevie Thompson, ministers the word of God through their international ministry called The Church of Truth and Spirit. This book is her first published work.
