I Still Do by C.M. Jones shares the story of best friends Karen, Deborah, and Leslie. They have been friends since grade school in Baltimore. Deborah appears to have the perfect life. She has been married for ten years and is a partner at her law firm. Karen is divorced with twin girls. She realizes that her life was based around her ex-husband and now she is trying to find herself. Leslie has her own child psychology practice and is raising her son as a single mother after the father decided that he wanted a DNA test. Deborah moved away to Boston and comes home for Christmas every year. The friends reunite for a Christmas that will never be forgotten. Jones touches on divorce, dating married men, infidelity, forgiveness, and reconciliation in this novella. It is short, sweet, and to the point. She was able to develop a plot for each woman that had its own share of drama and entertainment. The great detail to material items was unnecessary but it did not take away much from the fact that it was a great story. Readers will enjoy this one.

Life's adversities are no match for the Power of God. Just ask Deborah, Leslie, and Karen- the ladies of I Still Do, who must overcome many adversities until they decide to surrender their lives to Christ. Deborah is an accomplished attorney who is considered to be, "perfect Patty," until everyone including herself, find out that her past is not so far behind her. Leslie owns a child psychology practice and suffers from trauma in her own childhood. Karen has two children and a failed marriage, which has forced her to be a stay at home mom. At the same time these ladies are dealing with infidelity, betrayal, and deciding whether they even want to be loved at all. By the end of the story they have learned some things about themselves and their families that they never knew. But, will they truly overcome life's challenges and surrender their lives to the will of God? Get to know the women of I Still Do. If you liked Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married, then you will love C. M. Jones' debut novella.
