Love the Unloved

Book excerpt: James had it all-good looks, a winning personality, and parents who loved God and turned a blind eye to his shenanigans. Then the divorce happened. Struggling to find acceptance in a new town, without the support of his perpetually-working mother, he lands in a crowd who lives from one high to the next. When caught and imprisoned, he must choose between conquering his addictions and succumbing to suicide. Rachelle is a God-fearing woman who struggles to cope with a history of abuse. In an attempt to unchain herself from the past, she ministers to others who've suffered. Yet when her own past haunts her marriage, she must face her repressed trauma before her relationship collapses. Based on a true story, Love the Unloved is a Christian short story of a man's fight against temptation and a woman's struggle to heal. With God's aid, they must come together, look outward, and build a family founded on grace.
