When the Poui Blooms

If you like your Christian fiction contemporary and fluff-free, then you'll enjoy When the Poui Blooms.

Malachi Williamson Junior, a deacon's son, is having his first taste of freedom on a campus on the Caribbean island of Jamaica where he's enrolled to study medicine.

The entree is medicine, but orientation is all about the appetizers! And the choices before him are hard to ignore: friendship, sex, faith, foes... Nothing's off limits.

Just ask the well-to-do British ballerina Megan Le Blanc whose eyes have Malachi forgetting things he's supposed to remember. Meanwhile, American Abigail Shaw has him dredging up things he'd rather forget.

Haunted by a family tragedy, Malachi struggles to figure out which choices would move him closer to his goals and which could send him packing. But it's not always clear what those choices are, especially when the very people they affect are themselves keeping secrets.
