“I knew I was worthless in the eyes of man. When I discovered God saw me differently, everything changed.” Personal worth is a deep yearning in the human heart. Desaray became an adulteress in her quest for it. Told through a series of letters, this is a true-life story of a young woman on a desperate search. Man after man could not satisfy, leaving her in unimaginable darkness … Then the man Jesus Christ shined, rescuing her with a boundless love, a grace freely offered. “Letters to My Lover” is a story of redemption. Restoration. Worth. A higher Life-Design. Desaray embraced it in Father God. Today, there’s no longer a reason to live in deception. She’s happily married, creating a family, and touching the hearts of young women with hope.
