On the pages of the modern day tale, Boaz Brown, readers meet LaShondra Smith, a sophisticated, self-confident, soulful young woman who loves the Lord and stands assured that He will bless her with a mate in His time. But when God sends a single, handsome man of a different ethnicity into LaShondra's world, her comfortable views regarding color are shaken, and she finds God is the only hand that can erase the prejudices written in her as far back as childhood.             
An engaging story-weaver, Michelle Stimpson, the author of Boaz Brown, begins each chapter with LaShondra's memories, granting readers an up-close and personal look at her main character. And since Boaz Brown is told completely from LaShondra's point of view, it is easy for readers to bond with this contemporary woman of faith.

I truly enjoyed this fresh, authentic, entertaining and thought-provoking novel. Hopefully, you too, will make Boaz Brown a part of your library. Most certainly you will reflect, rejoice, learn and grow with LaShondra as she uncovers God's design for her life and the truth about the color of love.
