Iris Celeste, author of Praise Your Way Through
(Iris Celeste)

Praise Your Way Through is a Christian Fiction novel detailing the lives of four characters from very different backgrounds and the challenges they encounter from day to day. From adultery, unhealed wounds, abandonment issues, wavering faith and everything in between.

For Tamara, the shame of a hidden childhood secret of being molested by her uncle, a reverend, is carried into her adult years with unfortunate results. Samuel is a single, well-established entrepreneur and a strong man of faith, but he hasn’t always been. He has a skeleton or two in the closet. Sheila has grown bored with her predictable husband and seeks attention elsewhere, which eventually causes her more trouble than she bargained for. Leon, Sheila’s devoted husband, is oblivious to the end of his marriage and life as he knows it.

When these characters are confronted with their problems will they have the courage and strength to listen to God’s direction or will they simply continue to take matters into their own hands?
