About the Book: The Beginning of the Story: Naomi Jean Breaks the Cycle: Just Sex Is Not a Relationship
Naomi Jean comes from a long line of women who loved hard, lived messy, and never quite made it down the aisle. In her family, “shacking up” is practically a tradition-one passed down like a cast-iron skillet nobody asked for. But Naomi Jean is determined to be the one who finally exposes the cycle. She’s tired of explaining almost-relationships, almost-commitments, and almost forever. She wants the family to have something that is real. Something that’s blessed. Someone worth keeping. But when the man shows up, she quickly tries to escape. That ole generational habit clings tighter than a Southern summer-even when God sends the right kind of love.
With a sharp tongue, an inflated heart, and a whole lot of prayers, Naomi Jean sets out to rewrite her family’s story-even if it means standing in her own fears. A little funny, a little messy, and full of Southern charm, this Christian family drama explores what happens when one woman decides that “just sex” isn’t love, and love isn’t enough without commitment.
If you enjoy stories about faith, family, generational healing, and strong Southern women, you’ll fall in love with Naomi Jean’s journey to do better-even when doing better is the hardest thing she’s ever done.
Series Notes: Naomi Jean Breaks the Cycle is the first book in the Naomi Jean Family Series. Book Two-The House that Never Fails-shares another family member’s story, full of love, mistakes, and the kind of Southern truth-telling that never quite stays quiet.
About the Book
The Second Edition: Naomi Jean’s Legacy Continues:
As matriarch Naomi Jean’s legacy continues to evolve, Morgan chooses to make free-spirited decisions that are about to dishonor the people closest to her. While Morgan’s family is religious, God-fearing, and easy to approach, Morgan is anything but. Most of her teenage years are spent looking for new ways to dismantle her “holy-ghost filled bloodline.”
With no regard to how she was raised, she decides to become her own woman, a decision that comes at a huge price. She grows into a person who seems to have it all but actually has nothing to count on but her addiction to alcohol and craving for sex.
Morgan’s niece Amelia could be headed down the same disastrous path. In order to stop Amelia’s life from collapsing, Morgan must wisely turn from her old ways and find redemption in a fresh start—but the decision is Morgan’s alone, and an unspoken mystery in her family’s bloodline could shake her to the core.
