Book Cover & Preview Text
It wasn’t the first time she encountered Mark. Three months ago, their paths crossed at a gospel concert in New Jersey. He didn’t see her amongst the enthusiastic crowd cheering on the DJ as he primed the audience with soul-stirring gospel jams before the main artist took center stage. Every track sent the crowd into a roar of unified praise, Dory included. She admired his well-groomed mahogany locks tied back, resting between his shoulder blades.
“This brother’s anointed,” she shouted to a sister standing next to her. “God is really using him to stir up the spirit.”
“I know,” the sister replied. “He’s a real-crowd pleaser!”

About the Book
Dory wanted to love again, but didn’t see it happening any time soon. Besides (she thought), who would want a middle-aged divorcee with deep-rooted trust issues? Then one night, a silent prayer at a local gospel concert turned her world upside down. Can she, by faith, overcome her fears, insecurity, jealousy, anger, temptation, and the haunting secrets of her past in order to allow herself to experience the purity of a sweet encounter with an unlikely suitor?
And then there’s Mark—young, gentle, passionate; full of life, love and the Holy Spirit. Emotionally numbed from being hurt by a previous love-gone-wrong relationship, commitment is a foreign word in his vocabulary. Yet, there’s a gnawing void in his heart that's longing to be filled.
Can a head-strong, independent woman and a spontaneous, free-spirited man find love in each other and together start a brand new life? Will their spiritual convictions and Christian values be the strength of their relationship, or will their personal hang-ups be its derailment?
Blackberry's Wine is an edgy inspirational romance novel filled with relationship issues, prayer, encouragement, honesty, hope, faith and transformation.
