CASTING THE FIRST STONES by Kimberla Lawson Roby is a rich and compelling story filled with complex characters.

Tanya Black has everything a woman could want: a fulfilling career, a beautiful daughter, an elegant home and a handsome, charismatic husband who is pastor at a prominent Baptist church. And yet, Tanya can no longer deny that the calm surface of her life hides a growing turbulence. Her husband Curtis, once a supportive partner and passionate lover, has grown remote, and Tanya has the uneasy feeling that her comfortable life is about to change forever.

When Tanya uncovers disturbing truths about Curtis, she is plunged into a bittersweet journey of discovery. For while she learns painful new lessons about love, betrayal and sensual temptation, she also discovers, within herself, the wisdom to celebrate the victories that are hers alone.

Kimberla Lawson Roby is the Blackboard Bestselling author of three other acclaimed novels, It's A Thin Line, Behind Closed Doors and Here And Now.
