In The Truth About Love, four women are joined together by the P.O.W.E.R. discipleship group. What started as a group of seemingly different women grew into them becoming real sisters. Paula Manns is struggling in her marriage. Her husband, Darryl, appears to be inching further and further from the relationship. Nothing she can do, not even having another child, seems to bring that warmth back into Darryl’s eyes. Paula is determined to keep her commitment to Christ and her husband. Can a tragic accident be the Godsend that brings them back together? Belinda Stokes has to suddenly take on the role of being the mother of a teenage boy, when her husband, Thomas’s, son, TJ, comes to live with them. TJ finds himself in several predicaments that only the grace of God could get him out of. Belinda stands in prayer that her marriage will not suffer from the wrath of her stepson. Zora Fields is a newlywed. Her husband, Preston, believes he has been called to the ministry. Zora does not sense she can be a preacher’s wife. She struggles with the pressure at work to separate church from state. And then goes home and have church forced upon her. Monet Sullivan is the single one of the group. She has a great man, Jeremiah, in her life. She does not want to lose herself in a relationship. Is she scared of commitment? Is she holding Jeremiah to the standards of her past relationships?
McCollors creates relevant characters. Women of all ages can connect with one of the four women in the storyline. It was nice to see the different situations where the inner voice actually speaks to someone. Whether you listen to that voice or not we can all relate to hearing that inner voice telling us to do something. The story shows the bond of these women and how they are there to support each other. The story sometimes got off track and had many flashbacks that took away from the current situation. Although the novel had a slow pace, it was a good read and I would recommend it to McCollor fans.
