Last but certainly not least we have Lisa the mother of Nessa and wife of Mac who is more concern with appearances and status than anything else and who will not allow family SECRETS to destroy the life she worked so hard to create. A Family in Crisis the Story of Nessa causes you to take a long look at your own family structure in a way you may not have considered. This book takes you on a journey of love, togetherness, lies, deception, and SECRETS that fortunately and unfortunately are a part of all family structure. Will you be able to look at your family in the same way? That’s the question I hope you’ll be asking yourself after reading this novel.
Well I originally wrote a book titled Unforgiven Sins Heaven or hell which one will you choose??? The original version was raw and full of sensational type of material. I sent it to a well know publishing company who was ready to publish it immediately. Well after conversing with my family I realized there were things that probably didnt need to be in a book, so instead of making it just about me and my fathers relationship, I made it more of a teaching, encouraging, inspirational book and the well known publishing company dropped me like I had stole from them. So after wallowing in despair I decided to create a story about a family that could be anybody's family that has a whole lot of something going on and so A Family in Crisis the Story of Nessa was born and by the way it is a four part series, with "Secrets", "The Truth", and "Redemption", to follow in that order
