Soul Confessions

by Monique Miller
281 pages

This novel falls under the umbrella of "Urban Christian Fiction."  Phillip has it all--the perfect family, a nice house, an awesome vehicle, and a new promotion.  Things couldn't be going much better for him.  However, Phillip is hiding secrets about his past, including the existence of a child from a previous relationship.  When his angry ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Jeana, reappears in his life, things are turned upside down.  Will his wife be able to forgive him?  Will he finally establish a relationship with his teenage son?

The plot sounded like a great story.  I was sorely disappointed.  The author was preachy at many points in the novel.  I have read a lot of Christian fiction, but this is the first novel where I've actually felt like I was sitting through a sermon.  There were some holes in the plot, and everything wrapped up too smoothly to be believable.  This novel is also full of typos and errors which were abundant enough to be annoying and distracting.  I would NOT recommend this book.
