Washington Park, IL Authors Publish Novel about a Young Woman Finding Faith

April 30, 2015 - "Don't Judge Me," new book by Delaney Hicks and Charisse Woods-Burrell, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"Don't Judge Me" by Delaney Hicks and Charisse Woods-Burrell is a heartening story of one young woman's struggle through life and coming to terms with her faith. ShaKita Alizé Miracle Brown was born in Alabama in 1975. Born to a single mother who abandoned her, she became quite a rebellious child just trying to find her place in the world and make sense of her relationship with God. Fortunately, her grandmother was there to care for her.

Through circumventing many roadblocks placed in her way and a series of unlikely events, she appears to have found the life she was meant for, a church where she feels welcome, and a comforting connection with her Savior. The authors of this entertaining read hope to uplift the spirit of those being challenged by life's uncertainties.
