In many ways Stand by Me by Neta Jackson is a book of opposites.

One character tries to discover their place in the world yet the other clings to stay in a familiar place.

One character is reserved while the other is outspoken.

One character dumpster dives by choice the other rescues food by necessity.

One character is on a second marriage but the other has the hints of unknown love in bloom.

The key characters Avis Douglas and Kathryn Kat Davies couldnt be more different. Avis a middle-aged, African American principal, who is a seasoned saint struggles with her husbands sudden need for change and her estrangement from her HIV infected daughter. Kat, a young, Caucasian college student striving to escape the expectations of her prestigious family tries to get a grip on her newfound faith in Christ.

But as their two worlds collide through their membership at the multicultural membership church, Souled Out Community Church, readers are driven along a dumpster diving, heart-wrenching tale. This book will have readers examining their own openness to new relationships and their hidden prejudices. In the end, readers will be reminded that God often uses the least likely people to sharpen us and to fulfill his purposes in our lives.
