The final book in the long-running series featuring the Reverend Curtis Black, including A Sinful Calling (2016) and Sin of a Woman (2017), is full of Roby's trademark drama, surprises, forgiveness, and hope. Curtis is shocked when he learns that Trina, his long-estranged sister, has only a short while to live. Curtis spends every possible moment reconnecting with her, even though this makes him remember his abusive childhood and parents he has never been able to forgive. Curtis' current wife, Charlotte, is depressed over having to fill the relentlessly stressful role of First Lady of the church Curtis founded, Deliverance Outreach. Then her father has a heart attack. With no break in sight, she returns to alcohol for relief. Curtina, their youngest, now 12, has become extremely disrespectful and addicted to her smartphone. Charlotte then learns about a more serious situation at her daughter's school. The Black family weathers extreme challenges well throughout Roby's best-selling series, and this title is no exception as they find their way back to their faith and each other for the saga's fitting conclusion.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2010 Booklist
