A mother's past. A father's fear. A child in the middle.

Sarai knew how to survive inside the safety of faith, choir rehearsals, and whispered prayers. Jaheim knew how to survive everywhere else. Hardened by the streets and haunted by the belief that God stopped loving him a long time ago, Jaheim never expected peace to look like a soft church girl with gold crosses around her neck and worship in her voice. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes the tension between grace and guilt, love and fear, fath and the lives they've both been trying to out run. Some people find God before love. Others find each other Before the Amen.
