Pretty Smiles by Sonia Baraka

Description

Neva, Estelle, and Leah are the best of friends; their lives have been as normal as “Cherry Oak” can be. But what happens when they find themselves with a dead body? Details of how they ended up waking up covered in ‘red paint’ are a mystery. Will they be arrested and jailed? As the story unfolds, they find out more about themselves, God’s unending mercy, and the power of repentance and forgiveness. They discover that people aren’t who they say they are and the dangers of lies that are painted as the truth. While their lives are altered for the worse, they let the masks disintegrate instead of wearing pretty smiles that hide the biggest lies.
