Description
Marrying a handsome, wealthy lawyer and living in a Hollywood Hills mansion...it's a dream come true for twenty-four-year-old Jana, from the moment Lawrence Collins swept her off her feet and into his luxurious world. True, she put her studies at a local Bible college on hold in order to wed after a six-month whirlwind romance. Beautiful and vivacious, with a stunning body, Jana knows men like Lawrence don't come along every day, and she vows to be a perfect companion -- the ideal wife -- to this sexy, powerful man. But at what price?
From her wardrobe and hairstyle to her friends and her choice of church, Lawrence seems to want to change Jana into someone she's not...and soon, the man Jana thought she knew will test her values and her faith with a shocking revelation that goes against everything she believes. How far will Jana be willing to go to keep the man she loves? With her "ideal" marriage falling apart, Jana -- the real, modest, smart, and strong girl who knows what she stands for -- must put her trust in God, and follow His guiding light out of the darkness of a broken relationship.
How did you come to write this book?
I was listening to a radio talk show about swinging one afternoon and a woman called in. She said that she was a Christian and married to a minister. She and her husband were swingers. She also said that 68% of swingers considered themselves Christians. At the time I was reading about Esther in the Bible. She replaced Queen Vashti as queen when Vashti refused her husband's request to show off her beauty to the men in his kingdom. It was this action that birthed the question: what would you do if your husband wanted to divorce you because you refused to participate in the swinging lifestyle?
