Redemption's Road by CJ Murphy

$6.50

Redemption's Road by CJ Murphy is the third novel in the Five Point Series. It is a spin-off of the Chance and Jax stories with Chance and Jax playing secondary characters. My name is Rebekka Deklan, and I’m one of the most unconventional pastors you’ll ever meet. I’m covered in tattoos and frequently can be found on a sawhorse at the local brewery with a 1956 Gibson on my knee. Grandpa taught me to play, and I use those gifts to share God’s grace at my non-denominational church, House of the Rising Son. From the stage of an old opera house in Thomas West Virginia, this retired rock star turned spiritual leader, tries my best to imitate the pastoral style of my former lover, Naomi Layman. Years ago, when we were together, I broke her heart during a night I can’t remember. Sometimes, it’s hard to teach lessons of grace when I can’t find a way to forgive myself for the biggest mistake of my life. Until then, my life is helping others find their path, while I wage war inside myself to balance the saint within the sinner as I make my way down Redemption’s Road.

2019 Rainbow Honorable Mention

—I found “Redemption’s Road”, to be a Powerful & Inspirational - Must Read!!! CJ Murphy, has impressed me once again! I read a lot and she is definitely, number 1, on my top 10 list of favorite authors. She draws inspiration from life and everything going on around her. Her heroes are realistically written, as is every character she’s created. Her books always encourage, through her characters, hope, faith and positivity—the message that each of us are valuable and worthwhile. She also encourages the reader that it’s okay to be true to who we are, even when others don’t agree or understand. This book is a departure from her previous publications, in that it is written from Rebekka’s point of view. It also differs, in that the pros and cons of organized religion, are the driving force behind Rebekka’s life and outlook, on every aspect of life. She doesn’t use the book to preach to the reader. She simply let’s Rebekka tell her story and live out her life, within the pages of “Redemption’s Road”. Each character experiences their own highs and lows and struggles to find love and happiness. She shows you through Rebekka and others, that it’s not our mistakes that define us, but how we pick up the pieces an rebuild, from them. Religious or not, you’ll love this book! Don’t skip over it, because of preconceived notions. Open your mind and read it. I promise, you won’t be disappointed. CJ, makes the characters feel real. They live, laugh, love, fight and kiss and make up, just like we would. Buy this book! Rebekka, Ellie, Tank, Naomi and others, will work their way right into your heart. Tag along with them, while their story plays out. If you don’t, you’ll miss out, on something truly special!

I began to create lesbian fiction after my wife suggested I write her a story as a personalized gift. I was privileged to be mentored by another published author who helped turn a raw manuscript, into an actual novel. Upon completion, she encouraged me to submit to Desert Palm Press. DPP offered me a contract for my first novel, 'frame by frame' in 2017. My second novel, The Bucket List, was published in late 2018. I credit my storytelling ability to being an avid reader and having an adventure-filled occupation for twenty-five years as a career firefighter.
