The White Gospel Singer Paperback - 2013

From the publisher

The White Gospel Singer features a remarkable woman who is loved by all. She is beautiful, as bright as can be, and by far, the most giving of people. She believes that lying is a grievous sin and that one should listen rather than talk. She is, first and foremost, a fine wife and a wonderful mother. Her culinary skills are outstanding, and she also happens to be a splendid pianist and vocalist. Her one lack is that she has no self-ego with which to sustain herself. One night, her husband introduces her to gospel music, and she is smitten. She takes on the battle to become a gospel singer, expecting it to be difficult, but what she faces far exceeds what she expects. Such diverse factors as the Occupy Wall Street movement and the 2011 presidential campaign seem to combine to do battle with all her attempts at achievement. Marcie discovers that the woes she encounters are too demanding just to satisfy her simple desires. Failure after failure pushes her into a serious mental war as she realizes that she can handle anything but failure. Ultimately, this novel looks into the battles all of us have to deal with, and how friendship and loyalty can help us overcome any failure.
