Isn’t it funny how life can be going well, and then, out of the blue, a curve ball is thrown your way? Well, that’s Thelma’s story.

Her name is Thelma McKinney, from a small town in Arkansas. Raised in a God-fearing, conservative home, living a life that seemed to be close to perfect, Thelma was introduced to a life changing event. Being the eldest daughter of a preacher, Thelma is constantly under pressure to always do what is right. She discovers a letter that totally changes her life. It can make or break her future, causing her to search for her true identity. Knowing nothing but her family, having never been away from her sheltered home; the obstacles are placing her in a situation that seems unbearable. Her goal is to do everything right and to never bring shame to her father’s ministry. But she is growing weary, feeling misplaced in her spirit and an emptiness in her soul. Thelma discovers the happiness she once had, is drifting away. Will she turn her back on God, the church, and her family? Will she ever find true happiness, or will she throw in the towel?

As Thelma battles deception, hurt, and pain, can she recover enough to get back to her roots and become the young woman that God has called her to be?

Deeply moving and richly evocative, this is a remarkable tale about finding hope in a time of darkness, and about the transcendent and transformative power of faith. Her Cry-Her Prayer-Her Praise, will speak to many and inspire others to have the courage to overcome life’s obstacles!
