I dud not finish this book. I don't know if it was the American minister and funding scenario or the family dynamics.
I found it unrealistic and yes fiction should take you new places but i didn't feel comfortable with this scenario.
A good piece of writing makes you feel and it definitely made me feel but unfortunately for me they were not nice feelings.

Ava Edwards is a young, beautiful minister, but also a phony one. She has dreams and ambitions of becoming a rich and famous televangelist. But she’s small-time, and she’s desperate to make it to the top. Ava’s stepdaughter Susy, is a sweet, pretty, ten-year-old. She’s a great child, but Ava hates her guts. Ava is resentful of the fact that everything seems to come so easily to the girl, while she herself has had to struggle for everything she has gotten.

Susy stands to inherit a six-figure Trust Fund when she turns eighteen years old. Ava decides that little Susy shouldn’t get that money, because she herself needs it now. She can use the money to expand her ministry and start herself on the way to becoming the big-time star preacher that she has always wanted to be. She dreams up a plot along with a boyfriend of hers to kill the child. She hates the child so much, that she orders that the death be brutal and bloody. After Susy’s death, the Trust Fund would then revert to the child’s father, Henry, whom Ava knows she can control with no problem. She easily henpecks him.

Susy’s big sister Tori is a private investigator. She has never liked Ava, and the feeling is mutual. She and Ava clash over the future of little Susy. And it is a clash that will lead to all kinds of chaos and mayhem for both parties. Whether or not little Susy lives, will be determined by who comes out on top in the fight between Tori and Ava. And it’s a fight that could very well be to the death.
