INTERVIEW | S. D. Denny
Describe yourself for our visitors.
I’m a single mother and full-time aunt, so I spend a great deal of time making sure everyone else’s needs are met. When possible, I treat myself to a little “me” time on weekends. I enjoy watching Food Network, traveling, and I love to write.
How do you find time to connect with God?
I attend church, but I also connect with God daily through prayer and private worship. I also connect with God through writing literary works that uplift, inspire and encourage. My debut novel, The Baker’s Dozen, was written for that purpose.
BOOK REVIEW | By the Grace of God
By the Grace of God by Keshia Dawn
Reviewed by Tavares S. Carney
Through Thick and Thin
In By the Grace of God, author Keshia Dawn introduces readers to Gracie Gregory, who just knew she had met her life mate in Dillian McNab. That was, until he unexplainably walks out of Gracie’s life. This is the one event that sets Gracie on an emotional roller coaster ride. Although Gracie has the support of her parents, her best friend, Kendra, and lifelong friend Marcus, to help her move on with her life, Gracie is unable to find the resolve to let go of her failed relationship with Dillian until she finds the answer to the burning question of “Why did he leave?”

Donnett, describe yourself for our visitors.
I’m a minister’s wife, a bible teacher, mother of four wonderful children, and a writer. I love the Word of God and I love sharing life changing words in many formats and venues. I am passionate about fulfilling my purpose and also encouraging others to do the same. I love worship music and traveling to different countries and sharing truth that transforms hearts and minds, especially to women, who often need to be reminded they are vessels of honor and are of great worth.
