"Gabrielle Mercedes is a gifted dancer, who dreamed of becoming a dancer when she was a little girl. Due to a tragedy, Gabrielle went to live with her Aunt and Uncle who were abusive and took advantage of her at every turn. The only happiness she experienced was during the time when she was hired to clean the house of the next-door neighbor. It is then that a sweet woman began to impact her life and nurture her gift of dance."

"Gabrielle is eventually put out of her Aunt and Uncle's home and forced into a life that generates a great income but brings about shame and other feelings that influence her self-esteem and spirit. She then decides to make a change and joins the Jesus Faith Worship Center and becomes a member of the dance ministry. It is there that she meets Zachary Wayne Morgan, a handsome successful man who becomes smitten with her."

" Though their childhoods are dramatically different, together they share a surprising connection. Will that connection be enough for them to withstand a secret past that could ultimately destroy the life Gabrielle has created for herself?"

"Goodness and Mercy demonstrates how life has a way of throwing a few stumbling blocks at you that can either destroy you are make you stronger. This is an incredible story that will draw readers in from the first page to the very end."
