Shades of Darkness, Shades of Grace by Catherine Johnson
Shocking, stunning and compelling are the words that come to mind first when thinking about Shades of Darkness, Shades of Grace. Inspired by a true story, this book takes you on a roller coaster ride that one family had to endure as one woman nearly ripped the entire family apart.
Paul Pierson finally found someone to replace the vacant hole in his life left when his first wife passed away. Surrounded by his close-knit family that all worked together in their own realty business, he looked forward to marrying Pamela. From the start, the family expressed misgivings about the marriage but instead of bringing up their concerns to Paul, they try to be patient and accept the marriage. After the marriage and a beautiful child, the whole family discovers that Pamela is the devil and they are in hell.
Pamela is all about material wealth and wants more and more and more from Paul. When they are taxed to the limit, she decides to move away to take a "better" job that will let them have more things. While Paul tries to make it work, he discovers that Pamela is committing adultery, embezzling funds from the family business and who knows what else. While things are bad while married, when Paul wants a divorce, Pamela's true claws come out and she gets Paul arrested, fined, milked dry for child support and publicly humiliated. She makes every woman look bad.
During this whole time, the family is powerless to do anything. They do their best to rally around Paul and even hold interventions to make him see how bad things are. While the family does their best to hold to their Christian tenets, Pamela stressed that determination to its breaking point.
This is a narrative that is gripping, frustrating and definitely a page-turner. the best part is an ending that you won't see coming! Read it, love it.
