Reinventing Rachel — Alison Strobel

A life of blessing -- that's what Rachel Mills believed she had. God rewards the faithful; she was living proof of that. Until, that is, her life falls apart and the people she looks up to most turn out to be flawed in the most sinful ways. She learns her fiancé has been unfaithful and her parents are getting a divorce. In one day over twenty years' worth of faith is shattered. Wounded, bitter Rachel begins to build a new life -- and a new identity. The new Rachel's life is centered on herself and modeled after the lifestyle of her childhood friend Daphne.

But Daphne doesn't have all the answers, either, and her own life is soon in shambles. Rachel is cut down once more by a tragedy that leaves her shaken and unravels what little bit of self-possession she has left. Reinventing Rachel gives readers a true-to-life story that draws them in and keeps them biting their nails until the end.
