The Sink Before The Swim

You can't always choose to sink or swim. Brought up in an aspiring Jackson 5 family, Roslyn lived in a small southern town with big dreams, an even bigger personality, and the perfect plan for a storybook life that included a fairytale love. When her lucky number, twenty-three, becomes more misery than magic, she endures the weight of perfection-hoping to mask the shadows of fear and failure. Nearly losing everything, including her own life, she lets go of her inner control freak to find God . . . until life seems too perfect again. Ten years later, when history begins to repeat itself, Roslyn learns that embracing a forgotten past and ditching the perfect girl will help her navigate through the biggest mistake of her life-to the life that God had planned all along. Witty and raw, The Sink before the Swim is a journey of discovery about faith, love, purpose, and the "because" behind why bad things happen to good people.
