Book: Zora's Cry

Author: Tia McCollors

Review: This novel shows how the Lord places people in our lives for a reason, even when we don’t understand why.

Other Information: Four women, four lives, one God. Zora Bridgeforth, is twenty-nine and grappling with identity issues. While in search of for her deceased mother’s bridal veil, Zora happens upon a letter which reveals that she was adopted. Zora is devastated and vows to find her biological family. To find an outlet for her feelings, she joins a multi-church women’s discipleship group. Unexpectedly Zora finds the joy of her friendships with three women in her discipleship group (Monét Sullivan, Paula Manns, and Belinda Stokes) turns out to be God’s hand at work.
