Summary: Changing For the Better
Comment: This is a dramatic story of four friends who work together at St. Paul Human Services and the many issues that envelope their lives. Jacquelin Thomas guides you through the labyrinth of their trials, friendship, and faith.
Cordelia is the divorced mother of a teenaged daughter, Devon. She appears to have the strongest faith in God until tragedy strikes and she feels abandoned.
Bonnie Mae is lost and lonely after losing her husband. She fills the void by mothering her friends and compartmentalizes the pain she actually feels.
Tangie appears to have it all together to her friends, but has self-esteem issues from being abandoned by her mother. She tries to fulfill her need for love by having one night stands. She keeps her personal life very private.
Sabrina is extremely self-centered, materialistic and intrusive. She dreams of the time when she can really live the rich life instead of just pretending to do so. She has to pry into everyone's life to make sure she is doing better than them.
Each woman goes through a series of life changing events that could destroy them, but they keep the faith and God pulls them through. They are forced to look into the mirror and see all the flaws and insecurities that are hindering them from true serenity and a change must come.
This is one of the best books I have read by Jacquelin Thomas. She expertly intertwines the four women's lives and dots the story with just enough unpredictable twists to keep you turning the pages. I stayed up until 5:00am to finish this novel and the ending was not what I expected. This novel gives you food for thought. Take a true look in the mirror. Who do you see?

Summary: Shades Of Romance Magazine Review
Comment: A Change Is Gonna Come is the perfect title for this story about friendship, faith and forgiveness.
Ms. Thomas introduces four friends who work together at St. Paul County Human Services. To the outside looking in, these ladies have their stuff together.
Cordelia is a God fearing woman who has let her religion take over her life. Not realizing her actions have shut out her husband and daughter. A announcement from her daughter changes her life forever.
Bonnie's life revolves around the office. She has made her co-workers her family. Afraid to live after the death of her husband. She doesn't realize she is just existing day to day until a tragic circumstances with Cordelia makes her wake up.
Tangie is the perfect lady during the day and a hot mama at night. Her hatred for her mother's lifestyle has made her make decisions that will come back to haunt her.
Sabrina knows every bodies' business but her own. She thinks having a rich man to take care of her will make her life wonderful. Her dreams come true only to turn into her worst nightmare.
Ms Thomas shows with these ladies how the Lord works in everyone's life. He knows what they needed and he supplies it. He had to whip these friends back in shape and let them know that he had never left them even when they thought he did. He shuts one window only to open another one.
These ladies were co-workers who learned to be even better friends and how to trust in the Lord. He showed them that out of their sorrow goodness comes. You just have to believe that a change is gonna come.

Summary: Sometimes your faith is put to the test.
Comment: So far this is book #2 that I've read by Jacquelin Thomas and I am not at all disappointed.
We meet 4 employees who are semi-friends
Cordelia-Christian who judges, divorcee with a teenage daughter that cares about her reputation
Bonnie-widower whose given up on life so she smothers her co-workers
Tangie-addicted to sex have mother issues and doesn't tell any of her business
Sabrina-shameless gossip who uses men for money and thinks she's the stuff
In the beginning the book reads slowly and although it's obvious what is going to happen it was a very good read. It shows how apparent God is in all of the ladies lives, although sometimes certain lessons had to be learned. We watch as they all gradually change and realize that life without God isn't worth living. It's in their time of need that they all reach out and find that their fate is there for them. In spite of it all these ladies all grow and build stronger relationships as friends and women of God.
