Casting the first stone

Readers and critics alike can’t resist New York Times bestselling author Kimberla

Lawson Roby’s beloved Reverend Curtis Black series. Now the classic novel that

introduced the trials and triumphs of a church family and their congregation is

available in a beautiful new edition.

Tanya Black has everything a woman could want: a fulfilling career, a beautiful

daughter, an elegant home, and a handsome, charismatic husband who is pastor

of a prominent Baptist church. And yet, none of it can hide the growing

turbulence in her marriage.

Her husband, Reverend Curtis Black, once a loving, devoted, and passionate

partner, has grown remote, and Tanya is thrown into doubt about what she once

cherished. When she uncovers disturbing truths, confirming scandalous rumors

about Curtis, she questions all that she’s ever believed in.

But it is when Tanya is dealt the worst kind of betrayal a woman can face that her

life is changed forever. Plunged into a bittersweet journey of discovery, she finds

herself learning painful new lessons about love, loyalty—and sensual

temptation—and is forced to make some very hard decisions for her daughter,

herself, and her future.
