Shades of Purple

When having it all wasn't enough, Adrienne McQueen Louden lost everything and everyone she loved in a misguided attempt to gain more success. Homeless, penniless, and with no one to turn to, one rainy day Adrienne finds herself at a random church looking for a reason to keep moving forward when all she wants to do is sit down and never get up again. She finds a kind priest who offers her a roof over her head, a notebook, and a purple pen. This is where her story begins. In the basement of a church with a broken woman who dares to hope that she can turn her life around. The path before her is not easy. She's given up her kids. Her husband is in prison (and it's all her fault). She's stolen money from everyone she's ever loved. And on top of all that, she can't seem to stop thinking about her former lover, who also happens to be her husband's best friend.
