Bitter Roots Bitter
Roots is a heartrending love story about a church secretary, Claudia Lakes, whose only desire in life is to love and be loved.
Yet, she is not free to love because she is haunted by her past; a secret buried under a lemon tree in her backyard that she
is desperately trying to keep from the church members. But secrets cannot be kept forever... Taunted and bullied as a child, Claudia suffered from
low self-esteem until a family with a young daughter, Olivia, moved in next door. At last, Claudia is no longer lonely. She
and Olivia become fast friends. But trouble strikes when Olivia is raped and Claudia is besieged with guilt for not being
there to protect her.
Praise for Marion McNair and
Bitter Roots “Marion rewards readers with rich insight into the church community and skillfully fuses the believer’s human failings
with personal victories. Although it is a work of fiction, Bitter Roots reminds us of God’s love and His desire for
Christians to live a purposeful life with passion, peace, and joy.”
Foreword by Bishop Charles E. Blake, West Angeles Church of God in Christ,
“Bitter Roots is an exciting novel. It reveals all too often, the lives of a myriad of people’s public success,
but private failure. This provocative work of art will capture your attention. You can’t
put it down!”
Dr. Paul A. Thomas, PhD, Greenville, North Carolina
“Against a backdrop of Christianity, the author develops the characters uniquely, colorfully, and weaves them into an
intricate pattern of traditional values laden with suspense, intrigue, and passion. A must read!”
