When having it all wasn' t enough, Adrienne McQueen Louden lost everything and everyone she loved in a misguided attempt to gain more success. Homeless, penniless, and with no one to turn to, one rainy day Adrienne finds herself at a random church looking for a reason to keep moving forward when all she wants to do is sit down and never get up again. She finds a kind priest who offers her a roof over her head, a notebook, and a purple pen. This is where her story begins. In the basement of a church with a broken woman who dares to hope that she can turn her life around. The path before her is not easy. She' s given up her kids. Her husband is in prison (and it' s all her fault). She' s stolen money from everyone she' s ever loved. And on top of all that, she can' t seem to stop thinking about her former lover, who also happens to be her husband' s best friend.
