Bitter Root

Bitter Root

A sister is supposed to be your first best friend, not your number one enemy.

Semira Richards is a saved, smart and beautiful young woman, born and raised in North Carolina country, surrounded by mountains, blue skies, and friendly faces; or at least that is the persona that she shows the world. The truth is that deep down at her core, she is bitter to her root. That bitterness comes from her sister Sophinaâ€™s treachery. Sophina chose drugs over her sister and child, leaving her teenage sister to take care of a premature baby. However, bitterness seems to be a family trait because Sophina had it too. She was jealous of her sisterâ€™s accomplishments and constantly sought new ways to be a thorn in her side.

Now, all grown up, Semira wants to move on with her life and feels itâ€™s time to adopt her niece, Nalani, and give her the life that Semira never had due to an abusive father and passive, overbearing mother. Somehow, Semira overcomes the odds that are stacked against her and turns her adversity into a successful career that continues to thrive, but because of her sisterâ€™s perfidy, she has a hard time connecting with men. Love is the one challenge that seems to beat Semira every time. However, at the urging of her best friend, Mariah, she goes out to a club and meets NBA star, Carmine Pontiero, whom she likes. But just as things are coming together, they fall apart.

The father that terrorized her and her family so long ago has returned and itâ€™s a life or death situation. If that is not enough, a hidden family secret is revealed, and Semiraâ€™s ready to throw in the towel as bitterness, brokenness, and betrayal reign over her life. However, the Bible says in Ephesians 4:31, "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice."

Will Semira follow the Word or the world?
