About the Book
Broken. Drowning. Desperate. Lost.
When the lives and hearts of four friends start to crumble, can God’s
mercy reach them still?
In her second year of
medical school, Fadesola (Sola) Cardoso faces an impossible choice: stay with
her longtime boyfriend, the one who knows her darkest secrets and loves her
anyway, or move forward with Ladi, the man who gives her hope for an unstained
future. Even as she wrestles with her options, life as a medical student
becomes increasingly difficult—full of endless exams, stressful social
activities, and reminders of a past that continues to haunt her.
Ladi struggles with
Sola’s divided loyalties while trying to maintain his perfect image as class
president, promising student, and model Christian. But scandals inside and
outside the lecture hall threaten to break apart the fragile peace once and for
all between Ladi, Sola, and their friends Nikky and Tayo, who are fighting
battles of their own.
In this epic second
installment in Eniola Prentice’s new-adult Still series, the faith of these
four medical students will be tested like never before. Discover their gritty
troubles and grand triumphs as they navigate friendships, revelations, romance,
and career goals in light of the redemptive power of the cross.
About the Author
My journey as a writer
began with an idea—an idea that blossomed into a vision for the Still series. I
became fully committed to Christ around 2008 when I began medical school.
Shortly after, the idea for the Still series was birthed. My time in medical
school was one of the more formative seasons of my life. I made lifelong
friendships and, most of all, my journey with Christ really began. Although
there were challenging times, I would without a doubt relive the experience in
a heartbeat!
I published Still (book 1 in the series) right
before residency, and now—five years later—the next book in the series has been
published. In the time in between, I was the prodigal daughter and walked away
from my Father. Everything on the surface looked good, but my heart was far
away from Him. His love never left me, though, and He welcomed me home when I
came back to Him. I went through painful processes, but they changed me and
made me a better person. The girl who wrote Still
is not the woman who wrote Mercy.
I am passionate about
sowing godly seeds into the hearts of young women. I know how it is to be
brokenhearted and believe the lies of the devil because his version of events
is all you’re told. I know how it is to truly believe that you are not loved by
God because of the events of life.
My hope is that,
through my writing, you’ll come to know that God truly loves you and cares
about you affectionately. He is close to your broken heart and binds up every
wound.
I guess the author bio
should be about milestones and, like the quintessential dramatic Nigerian
aunty, I have missed the mark. I am a Nigerian-born, American-educated
physician who lives in Maryland—but I believe I am more than well-constructed
bullet points. I am a child of God through the ups and downs of life, and that
will remain constant.
