The Prodigal Son (A Reverend Curtis Black Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
His own wife, the woman he’d loved and given up everything for, had nearly killed him. It just didn’t make sense, and though Matthew did believe she was ill and that maybe she couldn’t help herself, it was hard for him to find sympathy for someone who was so violent. As it was, she’d slapped him and kicked him, but this butcher knife drama had beat it all. For her parents’ sake and hers, too, he was sorry she’d been arrested, but maybe being locked up would make her think. Maybe being handcuffed and driven off to the county jail would snap her back to a normal mental state. He lay there watching one of the local ministers on television, wondering why this had happened. Was it because he’d sort of broken his vows? All he’d done was talk to Stacey, but he couldn’t deny the lustful thoughts he’d had about her. So maybe this disaster with Racquel was God’s way of punishing him. He at least wanted Stacey to know he was all right, though, and he would call her just as soon as he could.
