Escape from Freedom

Publisher Marketing: As a faithful Baptist woman, Sara Blake wanted to please her family by becoming a preacher's wife. How could she have known that her God-fearing husband would fall into temptation and destroy their marriage? After suffering under her pious husband's dominance for 18 years, Sara kidnaps her five children leaving behind a wealthy dynasty. Herring witnesses the destruction of this preacher, his devoted wife and their faithful Christian family. This legally entangled mess harms everyone who wants the money. Some people go to jail. Some lie and cheat, while others seek absolution in their faith. The ramifications of their divorce causes pain and sorrow for future generations. The desire to get the Blake family's money becomes the root of all kinds of evil including murder, arson, infidelity and insurance fraud. But like every mortal soul, the characters in this story have to survive the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Even a respected 'Man of God' with a Master's Degree in Divinity will submit to the temptations of sin. His life, his family, his wealth and his inheritance are destroyed by a righteous indignation that repudiates the preacher's Sunday morning sermons. Morgan Blake and his estranged wife, Sara Blake, must relent in their pursuit to surmount each other in their marriage dissolution, the custody of their five children and the division of marital assets. All characters in this book should feel contrition for their sins and abjure for their sinful ways. Is wanting money, evil? Or, is it the seed of the father that encourages his heirs to covet their inheritance which is lost in the legal battles to keep the family's wealth.
