But she's had enough.
Finally standing up for herself, Andre throws her out, destroying her belongings while almost destroying her. On her own and starting over, she realizes the first thing she needs, besides a place to stay and a job, is a relationship with God. Yet, things prove more complicated than she ever imagined, especially when trouble won't let go, and neither will Andre.

Review:
"Almost Destroyed" by Lakisha Johnson
My Assessment:
Wow! What a read this author delivers to the reader. Poor Ava had it had, but in the end, will she be able to see the blessing that God has restored in her life. Ava went through quite a struggle, and for some reason, things kept on happening to her...from her ex-boyfriend that wouldn't take no for an answer and a job that tried so hard to discredit her in her knowledge of what was going on. The story leaves one to say Wow and at the end, just after her baptism, what Ava found out from a friend leaves the reader with a cliffhanger that we will have to pick up in the next series to find out what in the world is coming next for Ava. It seems like Satan is around the corner every step of the way for Ava; however, we know that there is a God that will protect her in it all.
The author did an excellent job with this story in that it will help many people if they trust in God and don't give up.
