Vindication C C Lamb

For an overwhelmed, naïve single mother like Zion St. James, a nervous breakdown is not inconceivable. She's not only still secretly in love with her son's father, an engaged Kaz Terrin, but buried childhood memories keep her unbalanced. Having tense relationships with her mother and younger sister, she confides in her best friend from childhood who has an agenda of her own. When Zion decides to try love again, death, ghosts, and betrayal send her spiraling deeper into insanity. Without time to recover, she takes an emotional ride into a mother's worst nightmare. With policemen at her door, ACS in her business, and disturbing memories in her head, Zion wallows in her circumstances until life lessons taught by her beloved father take root. On the mend, her mentor, Vivian M. Sankore, reminds Zion that greatness can only be realized when she drinks from the fountain within (herself). After turning defeat into victory, wrongs into rights, pain into joy, and tragedy into triumph, Zion is confronted with larger obstacles that continue to threaten her mental stability and even her existence.
