    About this audiobook

    The emotionally complex novels of Mary Monroe's God Don't series have won the New York Times best-selling author a multitude of devoted fans. In God Don't Play, trouble comes a woman's way just when she thinks she's finally got it all figured out. Annette Goode couldn't be happier with where she is in life. She has a good job, a comfortable home, and a wonderful husband and daughter. But tough times lie ahead. Out of the blue, Annette begins receiving anonymous hate mail and threatening phone calls. It seems her life isn't as settled as she thought, and demons from her past surface in unexpected ways. Now Annette is forced to question everything from her husband's faithfulness to her lifelong friendships. God Don't Play delivers the riveting drama that Monroe's fans have come to expect from novels such as God Don't Like Ugly. The story is powerfully told through the narration of acclaimed vocal artist Patricia Floyd. "Mary Monroe is a remarkable talent."-Chicago Sun-Times
