What happens when promises to stay pure meet real life? That's what three friends find out after they make a covenants to each other and to God in Kim Cash Tate's Faithful.

Cydney Sanders thought she knew God's plan for her life. She'd marry, have kids, and then snap her body back into shape by doing Tae Bo. But she's celebrating her fortieth birthday as the maid of honor at her little sister's wedding. . .and still single. Now her life is suddenly complicated by the best man. He's the opposite of what she wants in a husband. . .and yet, he keeps defying her expectations. Starting with a lavender rose-symbolizing enchantment-each rose he sends her reflects his growing love for her.

Cydney's best friend Dana appears to have the perfect marriage-until she discovers her husband's affair and her world goes into a tailspin. Then there is Phyllis-who is out of hope and out of prayers after asking God for six long years to help her husband find faith. When she runs into an old friend who is the Christian man she longs for, she's faced with an overwhelming choice.

Life-long friends with life-altering struggles. Will they trust God's faithfulness...and find strength to be faithful to Him?
