The Rose of Ebony

Ebony had a secret...an ill-advised relationship with a married man in the church sent Ebony down a path of regret, which led to an unplanned pregnancy. When the pressure of being the pastor's daughter and carrying a married man's child weighs upon her, emotions flare. Shortly afterwards, she threatens to publicize the entire affair, deciding to bear the consequences of the matter. After an untimely event, and unprecedented conviction, Ebony is forced to confess as she battles with thoughts of betrayal to God, the church, and herself.

I could’ve died that day, along with my unborn child. I can only imagine your expression after hearing that. Please don’t judge me as if you’re perfect. I’m opening up to you - a stranger, a fellow church-goer, a lover of drama-filled books, a distant friend. Regardless of the nature of our acquaintance, I’m confident in the fact that you can’t hurt me. I’ve suffered enough, and our connection is only by the gateway of literature. I’m glad I got that part out of the way because there is so much I want to tell you.
