Publisher's Summary:
Friends First is a testament to the power of faith and to the resilience of the human spirit. As a teenager, Fiona is rescued from an alcoholic, abusive father by her boyfriend, Cliff. His family, who take Fiona in, convince her that she is in no way to blame for her father's drinking and his physical and verbal abuse. Feeling unsure and lacking confidence, Fiona clings to Cliff whom she sees as her savior until they eventually marry. Her marriage to Cliff would seem liked a "happily ever after"ending. But, once again, life events intervene. At his new job with the armored car company, Cliff falls in with Joe, a devious co-worker who convinces Cliff to become involved in embezzlement and causes him to take the fall for it when caught. Fiona has been warning Cliff about the bad vibe she gets from Joe, but Cliff refuses to listen. Soon, when Joe makes sexual advances toward Fiona behind Cliff's back, will he finally listen to his wife or his friend?
Members Reviews:
Psalms 118:8 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Good beginnings donât always mean happily ever after. Fiona was saved from her abusive father and neglectful mom by her boyfriend Cliff at age 17. Cliff helped Fiona find a voice and the strength she needed to move to the next phase of her life.
Unfortunately the next phase of life was not what Fiona expected, she realized that pain was not just hands on but could also be emotional.
Wilkins theme in this read coupled with Christian principal reminds the reader not to put their trust in man. This principal is not something we donât know but it is one that in this world we forget, so this short story was a great reminder for this reader.
I believe this story just as all the others Iâve read by Wilkins, could be a great tool for my Children church class.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for this review.
