V. Anthony Rivers is no joke. He is a tall, sensitive brother that knows the way to a woman's heart is through her soul. Daughter by Spirit is his first novel. Look for his second novel Everybody Got Issues.
Christian Erickson is the perfect man: sincere, handsome, intelligent, and passionate. Maiya Hightower has searched for a man like him throughout her entire life. Unfortunately, when she finally finds Christian he is already taken. Maiya reluctantly settles for a close friendship with Christian and the two of them become inseparable. In the midst of turmoil in her personal life, Maiya gives birth to a beautiful daughter Angelina, but fears that Angelina will make the same mistakes in her life that she did. Thus, she leads Angelina to believe that a man she has never shared one single act of intimacy with is her biological father. She wants Angelina to grow up with high expectations so she places Christian, who is no longer a part of her life, onto a well-deserved pedestal and convinces Angelina that he is the role model that any young man that comes into her life must follow. Angelina becomes immersed in Christian's world through his words: books, magazine articles, and personal letters written to her mother. Even though she has never met him, she is his daughter by spirit. Maiya continues this farce for sixteen years with the help of her best friend and mother who oppose the situation but both have been drawn into the lies to the point where they can't get out of them. But like all things in life, whatever you do in the dark eventually comes into the light and Maiya is faced with the consequences of her actions. The only question is will her relationship with her daughter survive.
An emotional rollercoaster, Daughter by Spirit will likely move you to tears. This novel is for anyone that appreciates the importance of building close emotional ties and expressing feelings to loved ones before it is too late. V. Anthony Rivers writes with sincerity and passion and is a dynamic new voice in the literary field.
-Zane, author of Addicted, Shame on it All, and The Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth
Daughter by Spirit is a moving novel. The characters are written so crisp, the dialogue flows so nicely that you're able to follow every scene, building up to the novel's dramatic conclusion. The novel is so pure, so deep that moments within it will move you to tears and to joy. Rivers does an excellent job in pulling you into the story's dramatic plot and leaving you soulfully satisfied at the end of a fast-paced novel. I will definitely be on the look out for future novels by this author!
