Cherish

About to give the closing argument on the most important case of her career, District Attorney Candice Boulanger is struck down by a heart attack. When she comes to, however, she discovers she is in an odd courtroom with no windows and no doors.

A judge explains she has been momentarily taken out of her life to prosecute a different case: the relationship she had with her former "best friend forever" Milly Winters. He promises Candice that, although she is allowed to return to her life at any time, if she sees the trial all the way through, she will receive supernatural aid to help her attain her greatest desire.

Candice and Milly had been best friends since kindergarten and had vowed their friendship would last "no matter what." Even in their teens, when Candice starts drifting from her Christian faith, they manage to set aside their differences-until one day an incident blows their friendship apart.

During the trial, the two women are allowed to call as witnesses scenes from their past. Milly, as defense counsel, presents reasons the two of them should once again become friends, while Candice argues why they shouldn't.

Can their friendship survive . . . even if one of them has already died?

"Cherish tells a heartfelt story of love, friendship, and what a beautiful gift we can make of our sufferings and forgiveness. It's a must read for all ages!"
