 Two Love Songs For Thy Sweet Love/Sequel SATB a Capella (Plymouth Choral Series) $9.94 with piano acc for rehearsal only  Sweet Redemption: The Sequel $14.95 SWEET REDEMPTION by Moody Holiday is the sequel to Wild Innocence and stars Shanelle Brown, a college student and Alex Foster, a police officer. Set in inner city North Orange, New Jersey and suburban Lakewood, SWEET REDEMPTION tells the story of a young girl lost, looking for love and finding it in her knight in shining armor. But all that glitters is not gold and Shanelle and Alex both have secrets they must reveal to begin healing.Shanelle is the product of a dysfunctional family that is held hostage by their drug addicted and crime-ridden son and brother, Steven. As a result of the attention he receives and Shanelle does not, she is forced into the arms of Alex. In a very serene manner, Holiday showcases Alex's controlling ways and Shanelle's desire for independence. With Alex, it is his words and moods that tune us into who he really is and with Shanelle, Holiday treats us to her musings, dreams and poetry, that define her needs and wants. The problem is, Shanelle has nowhere to turn but to Alex and his family. Alex's family appears to be the picture perfect family and embrace Shanelle with open arms. Alex is the only son of five children and is doted upon by his family. Alex always gets what he wants in a calculating manner and after meeting Shanelle and running into her three years later, he goes about his plan for the perfect family. As the story develops, Shanelle's life revolves around Alex and tending to his needs; Shanelle's plans remain in the recesses of her mind.SWEET REDEMPTION is filled with social commentary and provides some life lessons for parents and children that speak volumes of our need to pay attention to the world around us. Holiday's writing is fluid; her characters and the storyline are developed while transitioning between the past and the present, dreams and reality. The poetry is tranquil and speaks of the longing from the depths of a young girl's soul. While the first installment is about survival, the sequel highlights avoidance and is somewhat more mature in terms of the delivery. Reviewed by Dawn R.
