Something Good

by Vanessa Miller Narrated by Tyra Kennedy

Overview

When three women find their lives inextricably linked after a terrible mistake, they must work together to make the most of their futures.

Alexis Marshall never meant to cause the accident that left Jon-Jon Robinson paralyzed-but though guilt plagues her, her husband hopes to put the past behind them. After all, he's in the middle of selling a tech business-and if Alexis admits to texting while driving, the deal could collapse and cost them millions. Meanwhile, Alexis's life is not as shiny and perfect as it may seem from the outside. She has secrets of her own. As she becomes consumed with thoughts of the young man she hit, can she reconcile her mistake with her husband's expectations?

Trish Robinson is just trying to hold it together after the accident that left Jon-Jon dependent and depressed. As the bills pile up, Trish and her husband, Dwayne, find themselves at odds. Trish wants to forgive and move on, but Dwayne is filled with rage toward the entitled woman who altered their lives forever. Trish can't see how anything good can come from so much hate and strife, so she determines to pray until God intervenes. Then one afternoon Marquita Lewis rings their doorbell with a baby in her arms and changes everything.

Vanessa Miller's latest inspirational novel reminds readers that differences may separate us, but if we cling to each other, God can bring something good out of our very worst moments.

The enjoyable if familiar latest from Miller (Once upon a Dream) follows three women who are connected by a car accident. Alexis Marshall swerves into oncoming traffic while texting and driving, and the ensuing crash leaves college football player Jon-Jon Robinson paralyzed. Jon-Jon’s mother Trish quits her job to care for him while her husband picks up extra shifts. Disagreement over whether to accept the settlement offer from Alexis’s insurance policy and Jon-Jon’s deepening depression strain Trish’s marriage. Alexis, meanwhile, in a bid to avoid court, reaches out to the Robinsons to persuade them to agree to the settlement offer. Then there’s single mom Marquita Lewis, who struggles to hold down a job and faces eviction, driving her to reconnect with her baby’s father, a decision that ripples across the lives of the Robinsons and the Marshalls. A prayer for “something good” brings together the three women in an unlikely friendship, changing hearts and restoring marriages. Well-realized characters, meanwhile, bring pathos to a predictable family drama. Miller may not bring much new to the table, but her account of the triumph of faith over tragedy will resonate with inspirational fans. Agent: Natasha Kern, Natasha Kern Literary Agency. (Mar.)
