After a tragedy led him to one night of crime, he decided to live his life according to God's will. Bishop Turner had a great influence on helping JT become pastor. He also introduced him to Cassandra. Life could not be any better until heartbreak entered their marriage. He thought God had given up on him and forsaken him.

Love was a four-letter word, and trust was an even worse five-letter word that Joy Marshall had no patience for. Young, beautiful and a successful attorney, Joy is any man’s dream, but since her life became a nightmare after her father divorced her mother, she wants nothing to do with the heartache that love can bring.

Lance Bryant isn’t fooled by Joy’s cold hearted exterior. He knew she was the one for him at first sight, and would stop at nothing to help her find her way back to love. But even the charismatic Lance Bryant is no match for the pain that has been inflicted on her heart. Joy will need a spiritual intervention that only God can bring if she is ever to truly open her heart and mind to the possibility of love for a lifetime.

The Marshall family discovers that although weeping may endure for a night, Joy Comes in the Morning, so you might as well go on and praise Him anyhow.

Psalm 137: 1-4
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?

From verbal insults to physical abuse, wealthy and successful novelist Clarye Dawson had become accustomed to living a life complete with pain and heartache. Having contracted polio at age two, only made her life more miserable. The polio not only ravaged her body and left her with physical deformities, but it attached her self-esteem and self-worth. She's only seen how much love hurts. She's tasted a little bit of all life has to offer, except true unconditional love and acceptance.

Clarye has all but given up hope forever of finding her Knight in Shining Armor - that is until she literally bumps head first into the handsome, charming and equally wealthy business owner, Gavin Elliston.

Clarye has no idea that her life, despite her physical disability and her painful past is about to take a drastic change, and never again will life, as she's come to know it, be the same.
