Farther Than I Meant to Go, Longer Than I Meant to Stay

Charmayne Ellis is an established, polished professional but although very successful her ridiculing mother and wise cracking younger sister won't let her forget that she is 36, fat and unmarried. Her best friend, Lynette sets her up on a blind date with the gorgeous Travis Moon who shows interest. Charmayne's caution light blinks like crazy but under pressure, she talks herself into allowing Travis to work his charm on not only her but also her friends and family. Dismissing a persistent feeling that Travis is not the man God wants for her, Charmayne ignores advice and marries him. As Charmayne settles in to share her entire life with her new husband, Travis only has devastating secrets in exchange. She knew about his felony record and parole requirements but soon she has to face his bisexuality and theft. Then his addiction to porn empties her bank account and costs her the career she loves and she's devastated. With no husband, no job and no one who seems to understand, Charmayne-with the help of a Christian therapist-learns that her real problem was never her weight or her marital status. Instead it was her own inability to trust God enough to wait on His best for her life.
