The Sterling Redemption

Does God forgive those who cannot forgive themselves? Can a sinner become a saint? Is destiny predetermined, or do we create our own? Is purpose in life important?
These questions and more are evoked in The Sterling Redemption trilogy. In this first installment, Samson's Strength, we meet Samson Sterling, a successful and wealthy actor who has a bad-boy reputation for womanizing as well as drug and alcohol use. When his son develops a serious illness, he returns to his Louisiana hometown at his mother's urging so that she might help take care of the boy. Samson vows to stay sober during his child's sickness, and though he claims that religion isn't his thing, he soon finds solace as well as the strength to stay sober in the faith in which he was raised--the Catholic faith.
The nurse assigned to little Joey Sterling's case is Christina Young, and she has dreams of her own, perhaps even a calling. But her student loan debt stands in the way, and the memory of her departed husband remains alive in her heart.
Can true love be found in the midst of emotional turmoil, or will happiness be forgotten with a cruel twist of fate?
