The Amen Sisters
by Angela Benson
Description:
One of the brightest voices in Christian fiction, Angela Benson was a finalist for the
Christy Award and is the author of nine novels. Now Angela brings you her boldest,
most controversial story yet...a tale of two sisters trying to reclaim their lives -- and
their faith -- after shattering betrayals.
Francine Amen: When I became a ministry leader, I renounced my family, friends,
and church because I felt they didn't believe "enough." Then a terrible thing happened
and I felt so responsible, I had a breakdown. Now I'm living back home with my
sister, and trying to make things right. But I don't know if I can ever forgive myself -- or
if anyone else will.
Dawn Amen-Ray: I stuck by my sister because it was the right thing to do. I didn't
believe that Francine could turn things around for herself. But she surprised me, and
helped the most unlikely people to come to grips with their own mistakes. The
secrets she uncovered about us would force me to grow up (finally!) and discover
what I was truly made of.
Insightful, unforgettably real, and compassionate, The Amen Sisters is about
confronting the difficult truth, facing our painful mistakes, and reclaiming God's
abundant hope and promise.
