"Edwards richly develops the novel's characters, especially those who play supporting parts. Tamara's outrageous friend and colleague, Lynette, is a hoot, and Lynette and Tamara's sharply dressed but racist boss is well drawn."-Publisher's Weekly

"...rich characterizations are a strong point of this inspirational novel. Tamara is a good mixture of quiet confidence, showing the layers of a woman who is trying to find her path in life."-Romance Reader's Connection

"...provides readers an eye-opening look at the disturbing consequences of poverty, drug abuse, child abuse, homelessness, and the juvenile system. ...some children are totally lost in the system. While they seem to be forgotten, Cheri Paris Edwards shows how God never forgets us. While fictional, Tamara's story is a testimony that deserves to be read!"-Faithwebbin'
