Vivian Kay

Author Vivian Kay has penned a story that is emotional, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but it carries a message. It’s a short novelette, but the characters are well developed and interesting and it packs quite a punch. Big Momma reminded me so much of my grandmother, I could almost hear her voice. I wanted to smack Marigold’s snooty sister, Ixora, until I found out why she acts that way. Then, I wanted to hug her. I’m still mad at Logan for losing his backbone though, I really wanted him to stand firm. His wife, Alena, left such a bitter taste in my mouth, I had to go brush my teeth after reading her interaction with Logan and Marigold.

Tackling the question of surrogacy, unrequited love, and moral obligation, it also addresses complicated relationships in both love and family, and the question of faith, strength, and belief. Knit Together will, I’m sure, spark conversations in households and book clubs. I’m hoping that there is a continuation of this book, because I absolutely must find out what happens to the characters, especially Logi, Jr.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good, short, “I can’t put this down” read that makes you think, wonder “what-if”, and helps you to realign your faith. (I was at the doctor’s office and the nurse called my name several times, before I finally heard her. Everyone wanted to know what had my attention so hard, lol.)… (més)

Ladi on the brink of giving up on his marriage takes some advice from his closest childhood friend. This advice changes the course of his marriage and his life.

With strong ties to their church, Ladi and his wife, Moni, are struggling with how to reconcile their marriage morally. In the meantime, their daughter, Shekinah, is feeling the effects of the growing pains of this changing family. Moni is consumed with climbing the corporate ladder. Ladi wants them to enjoy life as a family. Ladi and Moni are both selfish. Shekinah is your typical rebellious teenager. A temporary “fix” for their problems almost destroys this family.

This is a family in turmoil trying to hold on to their faith collectively and individually. Kay really reveals a dark underworld sect of the church. These were people of faith experimenting with alternative lifestyles instead of seeking the God they pretend to serve. This experimentation led most involved to life altering consequences but some turned back to God.

This is the most complete novella I have read. Nothing was lacking. Kay thoroughly developed all the characters and plot in a small amount of pages. I was completely caught off guard by some of the happenings that occurred. Honour Among All is not your typical Christian fiction. This novella deals with real time issues that are plaguing the modern day church.
