Pain’s Purpose Book Review by Shannan Harper Review Pain. Something that we all have to deal with, but for Talia Williams, her’s is in the form of abuse from her husband, Khalil. So she’s able to escape and stay with a sorority sister, Alanna Davis in order to keep her baby safe from a possible miscarriage. After Talia leaves, Khalil decides it’s best not to track her down. He finds a job, reconnects with a father who he hasn’t seen for over twenty years, and life is on the mend. Until an unfortunate incident happens to shatter every one and their faith. Talia only issue while living in a safe place is that Alanna is a Christian and is praying for Talia to give her life to the Lord, and Talia feels that God won’t help her. Talia’s pregnancy is progressing beautifully, she finally does give her life to the Lord, and is close to reconciling with her husband. Then Tragedy strikes. A phenomenal story of faith, love, and forgiveness that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. You will see growth from the characters as the book was extremely well written and thought-provoking read about facing trials and tribulations in our lives, and how God can help us navigate through them. I am anticipating the sequel and more from this author Shannan Harper is a simple person who takes pleasure in the simple things in life. She highly enjoys fourthings in particular: Jesus, books, traveling, and coffee. You can keep up with Shannan on her blog: harperscourt77.blogspot.com NKLC Magazine | 31
