Fast forward eighteen years; a beautiful marriage, two perfect daughters and committed to living the Christian life until the secret emerged.Oh, the consequences of sin!

A YOUNG WOMAN'S STORY OF DESPAIR AND BONDAGE-FORGIVENESS AND FREEDOM. . . Packing her belongings in her blue, 2000 Camry, Tricia left Beaufort for Columbia, South Carolina vowing to leave behind the extra baggage-hurt, heartaches, pain and poverty she had endured growing up in Beaufort. Taking a deep breath, she inhaled the scent from the marsh on either side of the highway. As much as she didn't like the smell of that stinking mud, it would be the only thing she missed. Taking her best friend, Sheri up on her offer to move to Columbia, Tricia was uncertain about her future, but she knew anywhere had to be better than Beaufort. A small town girl, Tricia never expected to capture the heart of one of Columbia's single, most handsome, wealthy businessmen, Craig Jones. Tricia has everything, however she could not enjoy her blessings because her grandmother's voice and issues from her past had her in bondage. A story of many lives connected by a single strand; whether through guilt, shame, infidelity or despair, they all will have to face their "Concealed Issues" in order to become whole.

Mo'n used to say a woman's hair is her glory. I think she read that somewhere in the Bible. But I've found no glory in my hair. My hair brings me nothing but pain. All my life, I have been called black, ugly, and "nappy head." Growing up in Opelika, Alabama, in the 1950s, Nadine is rejected by her mother, Mo'n, and told repeatedly that she is ugly. Believing that she can't be beautiful with her dark skin and kinky hair, Nadine suffers from low self-esteem and yearns to experience the true meaning of love. When a devastating family secret finally comes out, Nadine struggles to make sense of it all. Now she must find a way to break down the barriers of self-hate she has built within and learn to embrace her inner beauty.
