Changing For the Better

This is a dramatic story of four friends who work together at St. Paul Human Services and the many issues that envelope their lives. Jacquelin Thomas guides you through the labyrinth of their trials, friendship, and faith.

Cordelia is the divorced mother of a teenaged daughter, Devon. She appears to have the strongest faith in God until tragedy strikes and she feels abandoned.

Bonnie Mae is lost and lonely after losing her husband. She fills the void by mothering her friends and compartmentalizes the pain she actually feels.

Tangie appears to have it all together to her friends, but has self-esteem issues from being abandoned by her mother. She tries to fulfill her need for love by having one night stands. She keeps her personal life very private.

Sabrina is extremely self-centered, materialistic and intrusive. She dreams of the time when she can really live the rich life instead of just pretending to do so. She has to pry into everyones life to make sure she is doing better than them.

Each woman goes through a series of life changing events that could destroy them, but they keep the faith and God pulls them through. They are forced to look into the mirror and see all the flaws and insecurities that are hindering them from true serenity and a change must come.

This is one of the best books I have read by Jacquelin Thomas. She expertly intertwines the four womens lives and dots the story with just enough unpredictable twists to keep you turning the pages. I stayed up until 5:00am to finish this novel and the ending was not what I expected. This novel gives you food for thought. Take a true look in the mirror. Who do you see?

Excellent book; very realistic

This is an AWESOME book! It is very realistic, and "fits with the times". Ms. Thomas does a great job of developing each and every character in the novel. One of the main characters, Cordelia, is so wrapped up in being "perfect", she doesnt know whats going on in her own house. She is so shocked and embarassed when her daughter turns up pregnant, that she has a mental breakdown. It seems that God uses her daughters pregnancy to give Cordelia a "taste of reality", and to make her swallow her pride. This is an excellent read! I probably know someone who is a carbon copy of each character in this book!
