However, Chloe's quest for acceptance is not without its internal conflicts.

Review:
'Killings Me Softly With His Word' by Denise Cook-Godfrey
My Perception:
Reading this story will keep one's attention as you turn the pages to see what is going on with Chloe, the main character, along with some secondary characters: Kennedy, a cousin; Aunt Macy [Chloe's aunt]; Starla and Reginald [Chloe's parents]; and Nikki and Minister Aaron. These characters make up the story so very well that it will give one much thought long after the read.
As one reads through "The Sin-N-Me Series: Killing Me Softly with HIS Word," the reader will get a story of how God comes into a situation... where HE does an excellent job for Chloe in the case she was in. We found that Chloe needed someone to talk to about what was going on with her. And not knowing that Chloe's parents had problems they were dealing with at this time. Will she finally find the right person to talk to? As the story begins...Chloe goes to summer camp and college... Then, while in college, who will she meet that will profoundly influence her life? After graduating, she worked as a minister of ASL for the hearing impaired at the church...that she and her parents belonged to. Chloe meets Minister Aaron from the church, and the reader will find that each section of this story gives the reader something to ponder long after the read. Yes, each of these sections will be important in this read. This all had to do with what was going on in Chloe's and a few others' lives, and it is brought out so well in the story that the author presents to the reader.
