Not Guilty

Not Guilty by Teresa Pollard and Candi Pullen

About The Book:

It's 1974 and Carrie Shepherd, daughter of the minister at Windspree Community Church, is a college senior with plans to be a missionary in Africa. Raped by a masked assailant, Carrie is so traumatized she tells no one until she realizes she's pregnant. Refusing to have an abortion, she must find the courage to face her family, her fiance, her friends and a gossiping, angry congregation which may include her attacker.

My Thoughts:

This is a heart-wrenching story, and one you don't heart about often, whether real or fiction. The story is told in such a way, that you feel like you are member of the church in the book. This is a good book, but sometimes hard to read - emotionally.

About The Authors:

Teresa Pollard is from Richmond, Virginia, and was saved at a young age. She has a Masters degree in English and Creative Writing from Hollins College, and has served as a Sunday School teacher and children's worker for most of the last forty years. Married for forty years, she was devastated by divorce and the death of her youngest daughter, but God has blessed her with a new home and another grandson, and she now resides in Dacula, Georgia.

As an Air Force brat and having spent nine years as a navy wife, Candi Pullen has lived more places than she can name, including Morocco and Lybia. Raised a Roman Catholic, she doesn't remember a time when God wasn't a major part of her life, but a weakening in her first marriage caused her to question if there wasn't more, and on Thursday, Nov. 29, 1973, at 7 pm she gave her life to Christ. She has eagerly served him since. After the death of her first husband and the death of their daughter, Andrea, nine years later, she felt that God was calling her to use that pain to minister to others who needed God's healing comfort. In 2007 she earned her Bachelor of Theology degree. She now teaches discipleship classes, mentors new believers and those wishing to find all the Lord has for them, and writes a daily devotional on Facebook, "Good Morning, Papa!" She lives in New Port Richey, FL, with Drew, her husband of 18 years.
