Have you ever trusted God for something so strong, that nothing else mattered? Not wanting to be 'spoilt goods', Sister Georgina holds onto her virginity as evidence of her fundamentalist Christian beliefs. However, she never anticipated the challenges facing an African American woman in Washington D.C. with a very limited supply of eligible men and her growing sexual frustration. Sister Georgina's faith in God is unwavering and she strives to be the perfect Christian woman in order to be the perfect Christian wife. Without hesitation or reservation, she pushes her beliefs onto everyone who is willing (or not willing) to listen and doesn't mind that her quest for "holy perfection" leads straight into a world of alienation. Despite the obstacles, she believes that by sticking to God's plan, He will provide the man of her dreams. Unfortunately, Sister Georgina discovers that things don't always go as planned. The Righteous Sin follows the evolution of Sister Georgina from a child through adulthood as she seeks to make sense of the world in which she finds herself. But an unspoken request, together with thoughts that have "haunted" her since childhood, finally awakens something deep within, causing her to take an unexpected turn in her journey by committing the Righteous Sin. The Righteous Sin is a must read novel that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster while dealing with controversial topics that other novels dare not mention. From themes of perfectionism, food addiction, marriage as idolatry, desperation, mental health and even social awkwardness, The Righteous Sin is sure to keep you turning the pages until its unforgettable climax. The Righteous Sin will have you looking at the way you view the world, yourself, love, faith, and sin. Dr. Berry is a clinical social worker with nearly 25 years of experience in the field.
