Jasmine Cox Larsen Bush believes she's told all the secrets
she could possibly reveal to her husband, Pastor Hosea Bush.
She had to in order to save her marriage. But now, as
Pastor Bush, is thrust into a new, unexpected role as the
senior pastor, catapulting Jasmine into the role of First
Lady, it seems there's one more secret to tell. Except,
Jasmine will do anything to keep this last secret—the one
that's certain to bring down her wedded bliss—just that, a
secret.
Victoria Christopher Murray has spun yet another tantalizing
tale about Jasmine and her struggles to be the woman God
wants her to be, even as she fights against her many
enemies, including oft times, herself. Is there nothing
Jasmine won't do? With this last secret, it seems there
isn't. Especially not if it means giving up the mantle of
First Lady, a perch from which she's determined to make
people give her the respect she deserves.
What makes Jasmine such an endearing character of Christian
fiction is her kernel of desire to live in a manner that's
pleasing to God, in spite of herself. Even as she seeks to
deepen her relationship with Him, she learns that pleasing
God takes more than one trip to the wellspring of life.
Just as all Christians must, Jasmine must live with the
consequences of past behavior while learning to walk in
God's grace and mercy, accepting that although her sins are
forgiven by Him, they may not all be forgotten by her fellow
men and women.
With her own lies, she nearly destroyed her marriage to
Pastor Hosea Bush. Why, Jasmine was forced to reveal
every secret she'd ever kept from her husband, right
down to her real age, weight, and shoe size! She thought
she had told Hosea everything.
But when Jasmine is blackmailed with a terrible truth
from her past that she "forgot" to tell Hosea, more than
just her marriage is in jeopardy.
Surprisingly, her first instinct is to tell the truth.
Jasmine knows, however, that this is one part of her
life that can never be exposed. Determined to keep the
life she fought so hard to save, Jasmine is willing to
commit any sin -- even murder -- to leave her past
behind her. No one can know the truth about the First
Lady of City of Lights at Riverside Church. No one can
know that beneath the veneer of a redeemed Christian
wife, there lies a sinner -- especially not her trusting
husband.
