Zora’s Cry
Tia McCollars
Zora’s Cry is Essence bestseller Tia McCollars’ second novel. Readers will be introduced to four women whose very different lives merge into a friendship via a brand new women’s discipleship group.
Zora is looking forward to her upcoming wedding when tragedy strikes. In one horrible accident, she loses both her parents. The devastation of her parent’s death is intensified when she comes across adoption papers among her parent’s possessions. Confused and hurt, Zora decides to search for her birth parents.
While Zora struggles with her upcoming nuptials and adoption search, her friend and wedding coordinator Monet struggles with her singleness. Confident in her career, she tries to embrace this season of her life, while others are either matchmaking or trying to establish a relationship. One persistent politician in particular won’t leave Monet alone and she is finding it hard to resist him.
Belinda has a brand new baby girl after years of trying to conceive. As she adjusts to motherhood, her mother continues to fight against the cancer that has invaded her body. As Belinda reaches out to care for her mother, her stress levels increases as an unexpected person shows up at her home.
Tired of pretending to be the good doctor’s wife, Paula finds herself pregnant again. Already seeking her husband’s attention for her young son and herself, she becomes more and more discouraged. Needy and emotional, Paula soon finds herself confiding in another man from her past. Paula and the other women will learn valuable lessons about trust, accountability and the importance of seeking God’s guidance in all areas of life.
Tia McCollars has created characters that feel like your personal friends. This was definitely no ordinary women’s ministry as each woman essentially learned how to minister to her sister and be ministered to herself. Readers will not only be entertained, but motivated to either seek or grow as a participant in a healthy women’s ministry.
