Highly acclaimed, national bestselling author Carl Weber has won over readers and critics alike with his smart, sexy, page-turning tales of family drama. Now he delivers his most powerful novel yet—an explosive story about an esteemed church family with a whole lot of repenting to do. . .
The popular pastor of the largest African American church in Queens, New York, Bishop T.K. Wilson has decided to run for borough president. But his family values platform may backfire. In public, his wife and two children are a shining example of respectability, actively serving their community. Yet privately, the Wilson offspring are giving in to the same temptations as any other young adults. And their parents have no idea what is going on behind closed doors—including the closed doors of the church offices.
As the son of the bishop, Dante Wilson is treated like royalty, and it doesn’t hurt that his good looks cause the congregation’s young women to think—and act on—some very impure thoughts. Personable and smart, Dante is expected to assume his father’s position one day. The problem is, Dante wants to be a lawyer, and that’s not the only secret he’s keeping. He’s also met the woman of his dreams—and she’s his parents’ worst nightmare. While the church girls hide their brazenness behind pseudo-angelic behavior, Dante’s new love interest is as refreshingly direct as can be, and straight outta the projects. But Dante isn’t the only one who’s about to test his parents’ faith.
Dante’s younger sister, Donna, is as sweet as they come, but she isn’t exactly the virginal princess her beloved daddy thinks she is. And thanks to her suspicious, ambitious, not to mention meddling, mother, he’s about to find that out—and more. To add insult to injury, Donna’s transgressions involve another man of God. And that’s only the beginning.
Just as the Pandora’s box of unwelcome surprises seems empty, it turns out that even Bishop Wilson has some skeletons in his closet. Because the good man has a long-held secret of his own—one that could lose him everything if it’s revealed. Now all the Wilsons will have to face their demons—and discover what family values are really about.
