Maxie Bruce understands that to fulfill divine purpose, you have to answer when you're called. But when her own curiosity opens the door to temptation, desire, and the power of introduction, answering the call is virtually impossible. But it wasn't meant to be this way.... Faithful to the church, and the wife of a minister, her life simply revolves around one church service after another. Ultimately, Maxie professes her boredom with her Christian lifestyle, and seeks to change it by doing something she's never done before. But on the road to her transformation, she encounters a trap so elaborate, it catches her totally off guard. ... And captures her heart. Can Maxie effectively fight against the pull of the world? Or will she fall victim, and risk losing everything for nothing? Valerie High is the mother of three sons, and lives in Douglasville, Georgia with her husband. Everything For Nothing is her first novel.
