Shadows in the Sanctuary
is a dramatic faith-based novel about a respected church family whose polished image begins to unravel when hidden betrayal comes to light.
Pastor Lance Taylor and his wife, Shaunda, are pillars of The Richness of Christ Church "The ROC" a beloved Riverdale congregation built on faith, service, and community. But when Lance’s secret relationship with Sabrina Wells is exposed, the consequences ripple far beyond their marriage.
The Woman Before the Shadows
Every shadow has a beginning.
Long before Sabrina Wells became a secret inside The Richness of Christ Church, she was a young girl learning that silence could protect a family’s image while quietly harming the people inside it. As she grows into a wife and mother, those early lessons follow her into a marriage where responsibility replaces intimacy and being needed becomes easier than being known.
Divorcing Tim should have given Sabrina her freedom. Instead, he continues to use her shame, her past, and what he knows about the river to maintain control over her life.
Then Sabrina finds The ROC.
The church gives her meaningful work, a place for her children, and a friendship with Shaunda Taylor that feels safe and sincere. For the first time in years, Sabrina begins to believe she can rebuild. But the church also brings her back into the orbit of Lance Taylor Jr.—Shaunda’s adult son and the man connected to a secret Sabrina has never fully escaped.

When Desire Changes, Love Remains
is a deeply human, emotionally honest exploration of what happens when intimacy shifts in long-term relationships, yet love refuses to leave.
Through powerful storytelling and guided reflection, this book follows couples navigating menopause, illness, aging, and emotional distance as they confront one of the most unspoken challenges in relationships: the quiet fading of physical desire. But instead of framing this as an ending, it reframes it as an invitation to rediscover connection in new, intentional, and healing ways.
