Her debut novel, Standing at a Crossroad, begins with one traumatic night that permanently alters the lives of everyone involved. Best friends Toni and Jamie are enjoying a night out when they cross paths with Toni’s childhood crush—now Pastor Jeff—and soon after, are violently attacked by two young men, Guy and his conflicted cousin, Gregory.

For Jamie, the assault becomes a turning point that draws her toward church, faith, and renewal. For Toni, who grew up rebelling against strict religious expectations, Jamie’s transformation feels like a betrayal—forcing her to confront her past, her family wounds, and her own complicated feelings about Pastor Jeff. Meanwhile, Gregory, one of their attackers, begins his own fight toward redemption, desperate to escape the life he was born into.
