Sistah Review: The Bishop's Daughter

Writing is one thing, but knowing how to create a story that keeps the reader's attention from cover to cover is something only few people can achieve. Tiffany Warren did just that in her latest book
The Bishop's Daughter.

The Plot: What would you do if you were a freelance writer with no prospects of making it big and tired of having Mommy bail you out financially? If you were Darrin, the self-confessed gigalo with a blog to chronicle his recent achievements you'd come up with a story sure to land you a spot on Good Morning America. While exposing a corrupt Bishop would make headline news, Darrin never considered the subplot brewing underneath, him falling in love with a woman and God.

Things get complicated for Darrin when he sets his eyes on the booty, I mean beauty of Emoni, the Bishop's daughter. She is beautiful, but not in that long-hair-light-eyes-and-skin kind of way. Their attraction goes beyond the superficial and even though their relationship is tested, Darrin feels she may be the one. Now Darrin must decide if losing the only woman he ever loved is worth his future journalism career.

My POV: I loved the way Tiffany incorporated the male and female perspective in her story. She did a great job allowing the characters to stay true to themselves, while allowing their mistakes to teach readers a lesson on God's grace. Sometimes we forget the struggles Christians face in trying to live out this life for God. Nonetheless, God has provided us all a way of escape.We just have to be willing to take it. She also explored the idea many people have about crooked pastors in a unique way that tied in the popularity of blogs and the Internet.

Overall Rating: Loved it!
