Pastor Albertina Merci, the former blues singer turned minister, juggles rap, romance, family, and faith in the third book in this delightful series.

The unexpected arrival of fifteen-year-old rapper J Love hits Pastor Merci with the force of a whirlwind. When J’s mother is killed in a tragic bus accident, Albertina is named his legal guardian. The situation quickly complicates her budding romance with Mario, the owner of a thriving L.A. café.

As Albertina struggles to keep things on an even keel, J embarks on a dangerous journey of his own. Seduced by Bishop Henry Gold’s daughter Damitra, J abandons his career as a gospel rapper and joins the flashy, materialistic world of gangsta rap. Pastor Merci must draw on every ounce of faith she has to bring everyone’s voyage to a happy ending.

Industry Reviews

"Pastor Albertina Merci is the ideal combination of spirituality and common sense. In Love Tornado she deals with a crisis of faith that is uncomfortably close to home." - John Sayles, two-time Academy Award-nominated writer and director ..".The inimitable Pastor Albertina Merci...mixes spirituality with savvy in this Christian fiction offering. And there is plenty of sensuality to match the spirituality, as various love entanglements need straightening out by the doughty Albertina, whose own love, Mr. Mario, runs the Stay Out of the Kitchen Health Food Cafe. Albertina may stay out of the kitchen, but she doesn't stay out of much else. Humor, soul and inspiration is the recipe here." - the Hartford Courant
