Yesterday Mourning 10th Anniversary Edition

Yvette is a forty-one-year-old woman struggling to cope with losing both parents during her twenties-one to terminal disease and the other to life's complications. Over the years, she learned to repress the pain of watching her mother die and the resentment of having her father casually walk out of her life. Now as she packs her bags to return to her Georgia hometown and the house where final goodbyes were never spoken, a growing sense of uneasiness intensifies. Vera is the kind-hearted stepsister Yvette never imagined nor wanted. She was an innocent teenager when Yvette's father, the Pastor, entered her life. Although broken from the loss of his beloved wife and daughters, he loved Vera as his own child and gave her the affection she so desperately needed. However, a childhood secret threatens to compromise everything Vera holds dear. When the Pastor's health takes a turn for the worse, both daughters must decide if they have the strength and courage to no longer be confined by burdens of the past. Will Yvette overcome feelings of abandonment and forgive her father before it's too late? Does Vera's childhood secret hold the key to mending this family's broken relationship? Yesterday Mourning is a heartfelt and poignant novella about a family learning invaluable lessons of forgiveness, love, loss and ultimately-peace.
