“A novel that raises questions of faith and forgiveness.”
Booklist
New York Times bestselling author T. D. Jakes pens a compelling story that unites love, suspense, and faith into one heart-wrenching package.
Based on the film Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the SeventhDay, executive-produced by T. D. Jakes, this novel follows the lives of a couple whose love and commitment are tested when their only child is kidnapped right from under them in their gated community in New Orleans.
David, a respected college professor, and his wife, Kari, appear to be the perfect church-going, prosperous couple. Then their young daughter is abducted. The police immediately launch an investigation and set out to find the child of this high-profile couple. Reports surface of a serial child-kidnapper on the loose with a pattern of killing his victims on the seventh day, so there's no time to waste. In pursuit of information relevant to the case, they uncover information about Kari, whose past threatens their marriage and challenges their capacity to forgive.
