“Not only was it a great fiction book”
Five Star Review on Amazon By Erica L. S
This book is a must read!!! I could not put it down. Not only was it a great fiction book, but the spiritual messages/meaning were powerful. I am sure if you read this book, there will be characters you will be able to connect with personally. Allyson was able to capture the audience in her writing with the ability to provide a 3-dimensional perspective about family, relationships, and a spiritual connection to God. It was great to see the author have characters that were flawed even though they were religious and spiritual, which allowed the reader to imagine being Joy, Angel, Lester, or any of the other characters. The book captivated my attention from the beginning. WELL DONE!!! What are you waiting for- get your book today!!!
About the Author
Allyson Olivia is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first novel, In The Name of the Father, is about a woman’s struggle to love herself, allow herself to be loved, and keep her faith in God despite what she witnessed in her home and in the church. In the name of the Father has a dual meaning, it represents the main character being influenced by her biological father and her heavenly father. Her passion for telling the story about a woman’s struggle to love herself, her man and God comes from her soul.
Allyson was one of those kids who spent all day in church on Sunday, and was there at least three days during the week. Some of her best memories happened in church. As a result of growing up in church, all of Allyson’s writing has a religious undertone. A woman of faith, Allyson knows how the pains of life can push you to places you never thought you would go. It is the everyday struggles of believers and the process of growing in Christ and failing in your flesh that she illustrates in her writing.
Allyson also has a passion for helping teenage girls and women achieve their goals and understand they were placed on this earth for a purpose. She hopes every person will realize that apart from God they can do nothing, but with God anything is possible.
