June Arrington Wood marks her debut in the publishing scene with a fiction novel featuring "Fallen Idols" (published by iUniverse). Enthralling, eye-opening and evocative, this tale teaches readers the value of forgiveness and finding what it does when one learns to open their heart to God.
"Fallen Idols" charts the poignant journey of a young girl and her struggle for 15 years after being abused and raped by her youth pastor. Charlotte's experiences will offer readers a clear presentation of a sinner who truly desires redemption and forgiveness.
"There is so much of this thing happening even in the churches of today and it will help one to know what to do and where to turn for help," Wood shares. Inspired from her personal experience and education, "Fallen Idols" endeavors to impart to readers a better attitude towards their church but with an awareness to protect their children and also aims to move the reader's heart with this tale.
A snippet from "Fallen Idols" reads:
Chad had never heard of this kind of love. He had a hard time believing it was that simple. There had to be more to it than this.
