Stand by Me
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Sometimes the person you most need is the one least like you.
Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman from a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her.
When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever sheÆs thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meetsùespecially Avis Douglass.
Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of ChicagoÆs highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the countryÆs economic downturn has thrown both her and her husbandÆs jobs in question. And Avis hasnÆt heard from her youngest daughter in monthsùan estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this?
KatÆs flamboyant zeal for living a ôradicalö Christian life is a stark contrast to AvisÆs more reserved faith. But in GodÆs timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.

Avis Douglass, of Jackson's popular Christian House of Hope series (Who Is My Shelter?, 2011), serves as a bridge to the new SouledOut Sisters series. As this tale begins, Avis is happy in her second marriage for the most part but thinks her new husband could be more understanding of her daughter Rochelle's troubles. His exasperation at Avis' gullibility in the face of Rochelle's manipulative behavior leads him to discount Rochelle's desperation and eventual disappearance, and soon he is caught up in church politics, leaving Avis feeling alone and unappreciated. Poor little rich girl Kat Davies, who became a Christian on an impulsive trip to Chicago and subsequently moved there from Phoenix, finds herself drawn to Avis' maternal warmth when she visits the multicultural SouledOut Community Church and thereafter keeps popping up in Avis' life. As Jackson spotlights Avis and her complicated family situation, she introduces a new cast of college-age characters likely to have their own issues in subsequent SouledOut Sisters installments.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
