Vanessa is currently in the process of turning the novels in the Rain Series into stage productions.



Vanessa has been writing since she was a young child. When she wasn’t writing poetry, short stories, stage plays and novels, reading great books consumed her free time. However, it wasn’t until she committed her life to the Lord in 1994 that she realized all gifts and anointing come from God. She then set out to write redemption stories that glorify God.

Vanessa believes that each book will touch readers across the country in a special way.

These books have received rave reviews, winning Best Christian Fiction Awards and topping numerous Bestseller’s lists.





ABOUT THE BOOK

Two women from different worlds find hope together.



Faithful Christian Deidre Clark-Morris is a professional career-minded woman with a loving husband, but no children. Kenisha Smalls has lived in poverty all her life. She has three children by three different men and has just been diagnosed with inoperable cervical cancer.



While the meeting between these two women appears accidental, it becomes their catalyst of hope. Neither woman expects the blessing that God has in store for her. While Deidre will guide Kenisha on the path to eternal life with Jesus Christ, Kenisha will teach Deidre how to stand strong against the hard-knocks of life.

My Review:

I found this to be a very moving book. It had me in tears at times which is a good thing cos Vanessa wrote in a way that touched my emotions. I love the interaction between Deidre and Kenisha, they are from 2 very different worlds but they are the same in many ways. The book deals with many issues facing many people and the different ways we deal with them. It deals with preconceived ideas people have also based on where a person lives and there backgrounds and how this isn't always right. This book is one I am so glad I had the opportunity to read there are so many lessons to take out of it and to act on. Great read.
