Carla Celine "Cee Cee" Johnson is a TV reporter. She’s at the top of her game in a mostly-white profession—thanks to hard work and one big lie. When her life spirals out of control during an assignment in her hometown, Pettigrew, she begins to ask herself some tough questions about the relationship with her once-abusive father.

Cee Cee is forced to examine her heart and look at the essence of forgiveness. Healing comes from the most unlikely places. And love takes her by surprise.

image If a miracle happened to you, wouldn’t you tell everyone? What if they thought you were crazy?

Poor in health but rich in faith, Gina Merritt a young, broke, African American single mother sits in a pew on Ash Wednesday and has a holy vision. When it fades, her palms are bleeding. Anthony Priest, the junkie sitting beside her, instinctively touches her when she cries out, but Gina flees in shock and pain. Anthony, a prize-winning journalist before drugs destroyed his career, is flooded with a sense of well-being and knows he is cured of his addiction. Without understanding why, Anthony follows Gina home to find some answers. Together they search for an understanding to this miraculous event, and along the way they cross paths with a skeptical evangelical pastor, a gentle Catholic priest, a certifiable religious zealot, and an oversized transvestite drug dealer, all of whom lend their opinion. It’s a quest for truth, sanity, and grace . . . and an unexpected love story.
