Synopsis

As Cynthia Wright’s marriage implodes, she is forced to raise her teenage son, Isaiah, alone. The pressure of providing for them through her salon is a full-time job in itself. When Cynthia sees Isaiah pulling away and escaping into video games, tensions rise and prayers feel unanswered. Angry and hurt, Isaiah starts acting like the father who abandoned him, and Cynthia gives him an ultimatum while turning to her twin sister, Elizabeth Jordan, for support. Elizabeth enlists a seasoned prayer warrior who challenges Cynthia to pray boldly and believe God for the impossible.

Caught in the middle, Isaiah longs for respect, but sees no clear path to becoming a good man. Desperate for a job, he wanders into Moore Fitness, Inc. and encounters the owner, Joshua Moore, who introduces him to the concept of working for a coach rather than a boss. Needing the work, Isaiah reluctantly begins his mentoring process with Joshua. While Cynthia clings to hope, no one sees the coming storms brewing at the company and in Isaiah’s heart.

The Forge is about the power of prayer, the transformation only God can achieve, and the lasting influence one person can have on others.

About The Author

All my stories are prayers from a wounded heart. As you enter each one, I hope you’ll sense that struggle and pain and questions are not just part of life but part of how you can be drawn deeper into it. A Piece of the Moon is the book I’ve waited more than 40 years to write. It combines my love for radio with a quirky cast of characters who need a second chance in a world that judges and marginalizes. There’s also a faith angle to the story that leads to a mystery to solve. I hope it sings in your soul.

I am on a mission to read the (fiction) Pulitzers...it's a challenge I set myself years ago, and I'm making slow but steady progress. The Store, the second book in this trilogy, won the Pulitzer in 1933. And, of course, I couldn't read the second book without reading the first! I believe I purchased......more

Goodreads review by Amanda on February 22, 2015

It took me a long time to track down this book. I had to put in three different interlibrary loan requests before the library was able to get me a copy. So was it worth the wait? Meh. It wasn't bad, and I'm going to read the next book in the trilogy, but it wasn't the best thing I've read. It was ok......more

Goodreads review by Bruce on August 05, 2007

I just thought I'd include this since although I read it a long time ago, it's a little known bookd about the Civil War and I have fond memories of it. This novel was written in the thirties about a locale near the Alabama-Tennessee border during the Civil War, based loosely on living memory, and ha......more

Goodreads review by Kimberly on May 03, 2021

Think “Gone With the Wind “ without all the beautiful people. This book has the same elements but all the characters are flawed and slavery is presented much more realistically. I love history so really enjoyed this, especially the later portion dealing with life after the war. Crazy flurry of peopl......more
