"Testimony" To Start Off 2012!

My 2011 literary year did not end as expected. I misplaced "Tied Up In Tinsel."
So, hopefully, I'll be able to read it during the 2012 holiday season! After much deliberation, I have decided to start off the year by reading "Testimony," by Felicia Mason!
After 18 years of firm faith, Roger McKenzie is questioning his calling as leader of the gospedl choir, The Triumphant Voices of Praise. Not only have the Voices failed to achieve the commercial and critical success he craves, relationships between the choir members are unraveling, turning the once harmonious group into disillusioned and bitter strangers. Tyrone Thomas, Roger's cousin, has always been his best friend and staunches supporter. So he can't understand why his own wife, Georgie, seems intent on driving a wedge between him and Roger. For Georgie's part, there's something about Roger she doesn't trust. And while she has the uneasy feeling he's hiding something, she's been keeping secrets of her own--the kind that could destroy her cherished marriage to Tyrone. Pampered, privileged Margaret Hall-Stuart has the voice of an angel, but her uptown airs alienate the other singers. Margaret's determined to make a play for Roger--until someone else in the group opens her eyes to a world she's never imagined. When Roger begins to receive hateful, anonymous messages, the whole choir is plunged into an ordeal that tests their spirits. It's only by facing their pasts, their demons, and thier limitations that each of them can overcome the obstacles within...and reach new heights of celebration and success.
Admittedly, it's a little different from anything I've read and documented in previous blog posts, but I don't doubt that the "journey" will be as equally enjoyable! That's my "Testimony," and I'm sticking to it!!!!!!
