Book Overview

In her mind's eyes, she could see Wes, tall and elegant in his tailored tuxedo with a patterned vest, black tie, and snow white pocket square. Her red Valentino slip gown highlighted her honeyed complexion and chocolate brown eyes. The gown also picked up the red in Wes's vest and the red in the rose in his lapel.

WOW,!! Gripping, on-edge reading and Renewing

WOW, what a powerful, soul-searching and renewing book. Francis really out did herself with this one and I'm sure it'll be another bestseller for her. This book is worth reading again and worth passing on to others. I Know Who..tells the story of Madison and Wes Reed the perfect couple. Or so they appear to be. Their lives are turned upside down in more way then one after a tragic accident that results in two deaths. The other colorful characters are baby Manda, Gordon, Louis, Zarchary, Helen, Edward, Camille, A.J and Vanessa Reed. Once these people start to cross paths, their lives will never will be same. I couldn't put this book down. While reading you learn how family secrets, betrayal and shame can destroy you and all that you cherish. You learn how to give of yourself unselfishly, restore your hope, faith and trust not only in yourself but, in others. This book is well worth every dime and then some. You won't and can't be disappointed. Thanks for a wonderful book Ms.Ray, it's more of a 10+, in my book.

Hopefully tomorrow is better than today?

In one stoic night, Madison Reed looses her husband, finds out that he had an affair, and is left with proof of the affair....a nine-month little girl named Manda. Consequently, on the same night, little Manda looses both her parents, orphaned. Zachary is every woman's' dream...A virile man of his word, chivalrous, strong, protective, caring, and confident. He made a promise regarding Manda that he MUST see through. Madison and Zachary are thrown together, made to depend on one another and cooperate to triumph through tumultuous situations. Consequently, just when the ominous clouds are moving scandalous secrets threaten to crumble the foundation these two strong characters built.Francis Ray's writing made my heartache. I wanted to reach out and comfort Madison; to remove her from the levels of grief that were stacking on top of her. In less than 50 pages, Francis established the problem, painted the setting, and sucked me into the poignant plot. Such passion, raw emotions, and unbridled needs.The sensuality...erotic passion gave me shivers. Ray eloquently writes tasteful love scenes that make you squirm. Tender scenes that are more mental and emotional than physical. Shooting electric currents of desire, she deftly builds tension and anticipation between multiple characters and in various situations.Ray wrote so sensually that I closed my eyes and could feel the depth of love and contentment. I Know Who Holds Tomorrow illustrates over and over the importance of love, honesty, and trust in any type of relationship.

Francis Ray does it again!

Francis Ray really knows how to tell a story and make you not want to put the book down. That's what happened to me when I bought this book. Since I own all of her books and have read many of them more than once I was not disappointed and neither will you be once you start reading. On the outside Wes & Madison had the perfect marriage. All of that came to a halt when Wes is involved in an accident and on his death bed makes a confession of betrayal no wife would want to face. With the support of her family, co workers and Wes' best friend Zachary, Madison is able to start putting her life back on track and take care of and love the most innocent one of them all. There is so much I want to say about this book but, I want you to experience the same feelings that I did as I read it. You will want to read it again and again. Go out and purchase this book or order it now. You will be so glad that you did.Other boooks by Francis Ray: Forever Yours, Heart of the Falcon, Until There Was You and Silken Betrayal
