REVIEW: Kendra Norman-Bellamy brings southern charm and grace to inspirational romance fiction with her debut novel, For love and Grace, which has been re-released by BET/New Spirit.
Dr. Gregory Dixon, one of the brightest stars in brain medicine, finds his professional duties at odds with
his best friend, Derrick Madison, esquire, when the patient Gregory has committed to save kills Derrick’s mother. To make matters worse,
Gregory falls for his patient, Grace, despite Derrick’s quest to make her pay for his mother’s death. How can you fall in love with your best
friend’s enemy? How can you save a friendship severed by hate? Bellamy believes that love will make a way.
If you are a hopeless romantic, this book is for you. If you want to read a book about black men who aren’t keeping secrets and having baby
Mama Drama, then this book is for you. If you are a Christian woman and you want to find a good read that nurtures your soul, this book is for
you.
So why did I give it a four rating instead of a five? Although the story is sweet and the characters well thought out, there are some places
in the book when I get lost between which characters are talking and when are things taking place.
Nonetheless, Ms. Bellamy is an author to watch in the future and she promises to keep the good men coming.
