Chosen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798868529580)

Ava Esther Edwards is the greatest basketball sensation that St. Louis, Missouri has seen since Jayson Tatum. She has it all, to the endorsements, the looks, the wit, and the talent. Only several months from being a starter to a D1 College, she almost loses her life in a shooting, and her world is flipped upside down. Her family starts to crumble, her friendships are challenged, and her love for basketball starts to dwindle. On the other hand her love for Kortni Hill, a charming woman arises. Ava is faced with the decision to choose the people whom she has always loved and one whom she yearns to love. Whom will she choose?

Jayla is a young and powerful native from St. Louis, Missouri. She embodies a life woven with intentional surrender and spiritual zeal. As a recent ministry major graduate, she is devoted to allowing her passions and gifts to become vessels for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her motto-to "die daily" to self-underscores a spiritual discipline of continual renewal and humility. Tulsa became her home by divine prompting-a place where she stands ready, tender-hearted and resolute, to serve wherever she is needed most. Jayla enjoys writing, painting, and serving her church as an armed security officer. She strives to be a blessing to her family, friends, and the world by walking the straight and narrow path, and living out the Truth with an open hand.
