That One Day

The course of life can change in the blink of an eye.

For Vivian Newman, it all started her sophomore year of high school—the day of the solar eclipse. After walking home from school with her best friend, Destiny Mays—Vivian receives devastating news of her mother’s death. With no father in the picture and a brother who ran away from home, she’s left alone. Destiny tries convincing her everything will be ok—but Vivian panics…and disappears.

For 14 years, Vivian is homeless—battling addictions and surviving as a prostitute—until fate reunites her with Destiny. Her life is rerouted as she goes through rehabilitation attempting to overcome a lifetime of ruin. Then, Vivian faces the greatest hardship of all—one that only faith and hope can heal.

What a ride

Such a dive into life’s despair and a journey out of it. I loved the narration. The love between these people and God is an amazing testament.
