Eunice Tate - When God Wasn't looking - Gables

Start: Oct 2 2010 7:00 pm

AS A LITTLE GIRL, Sydnee Price was left in the care of a couple in Jamaica by her mother, just “for a little while.” Molested by her guardian, betrayed by the church, and reviled by the women in the district, she flees to America, buries her secrets and keeps her heart sealed tight.

But she discovers that freedom does not give her the peace she sought because ghosts continue to resurface. To reclaim her true self and silence the ghosts of the past, Sydnee must return to Jamaica, where it all began, admit her deepest shame, and face the child she abandoned. She was not prepared for what was to come.

Sunshine Brown, Sydnee’s hidden daughter, believes that there are no mistakes in life; so when Sydnee arrives in Jamaica searching for her, she confronts her own dark feelings and draws upon her faith for strength—a faith of which her mother wants no part. Sunshine is the one person who can help Sydnee find redemption. In order to do so, though, Sydnee must confront the ghost of her past and be willing to love again. She has to learn to believe once more in the only One who can give her true peace—God.

Written with fresh, powerful language, Eunice Tate's When God Wasn’t Looking tells a story of brokenness, of the baggage of the human heart, and of finding the way to redemption and healing.
