About this ebook

Through the Crack is the heart-warming story of three women who are bound to one another by the common blood that flows through their veins. Though Vickie Morgan-Stevenson believes in God, she has no true relationship with Him. In her state of addiction, she tells lies, cheats and steals to support her habit. Ultimately, her life becomes the battleground of war between the Truth of God and the Lie of the Enemy. Vickies single, saved and sanctified sister, Vanessa Morgan, has her middle-class lifestyle in the city disrupted when she is forced to accept her sisters addiction and put her own life on hold. Upon her return to the Mississippi Delta, she assumes Vickies responsibilities, including caring for her eighteen year old daughter, Vonshay, who finds her life in turmoil as she grapples with the choices her mother has made. The novel traces the womens journey from addiction to recovery as it exposes their individual desires to avoid being smothered by family responsibilities and relationships. The characters faith in God sustains them through the laughter and the tears as they learn the true meaning of unconditional love.

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Charrita's book! I'm a native of her hometown & also her classmate, so I knew anything she did would be awesome! The story line was great and I loved how she included real struggles and real solutions to those struggles. I also commend her for all of the many references to God! I hope she continues with a sequel!! I'm proud of you Charrita!! Great job!

Couldn't put it down.
