First and foremost I have to applaud Ms. Hudson-Smith for writing such a powerfully spiritual novel! My prayer for you is that God will continue to anoint you with such joyous Christian-based novels!

You will absolutely fall in love with and admire Nicholas for his violent faith in the Lord!!! It was so refreshing to read about an African American male who truly practiced his faith! Nicholas was the one who influenced his son Isaiah, his one true love Asia and Torrie to keep the faith!

I loved one of the themes expressed in the novel-we as Christians have to at all times keep ourselves in constant communication with God through our prayers, so that we do not totally lose our way! We cannot make it without the Lord!

This novel was realistic but at the same time you really felt that through it all God was and is still in control! Tomorrow made you shout, sing and cry all at the same time!

Once you start reading you will not be able to put the book down!
To sum it all up in two words...SIMPLY DIVINE!!

God bless you Ms. Hudson-Smith and keep on writing about the miraculous power of my Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST!!!

I truly enjoyed this powerful and spiritual novel. Linda Hudson-Smith really put her heart and soul into writing this novel. I loved the way Nicholas Reynolds always gave praise to the Almighty and never lost faith in God and his love for Asia Morrell. I enjoyed this novel so much that I didn't want it to end. Once you read it, you won't put the novel down until the end, and then you want to just read more about this loving family. I pray that Linda write a sequel. I would love to read more about Isaiah and his beautiful family. Thanks Linda for a beautiful novel. You are the best.

I REALLY LIKED THIS NOVEL, FROM THE GET GO NICHOLAS WAS A VERY LOVING FATHER (THAT IS OF COURSE ONCE HE HAD THE CHANCE TO BE ONE). EVEN THOUGH I WAS LIKE EVERY TIME I TURN AROUGND THIS MAN IS CRYING. I JUST WISH IT WAS MORE MEN IN THE WORLD LIKE HIM 1) A STONG CHRISTIAN. 2) THAT WAS READY TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. 3) AFFECTIONATE, LOVING, AND BELIVED HIS SON TO THE END.

THIS STORY WAS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE GO THROUGH TODAY. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO READ THIS.
LINDA - NOVELS HAVE STORY LINES THAT HAVE MOST BOOKS DON'T HAVE LIKE THIS ONE AND LADIES IN WAITING.

In Linda Hudson-Smith's newest Christian novel, Tomorrow May Never Come, forgiveness and the power of prayer are the themes. Twenty-two years ago Nicholas Reynolds and Asia Morrell were in college and in love. Suddenly Asia disappeared, dropped out of school and moved away. Skip to the present. Nicholas receives a visit from Isaiah Morell, an angry young man, who claims to be his son. One look at Isaiah and Nicholas realizes he is telling the truth.

Isaiah or Ike the Psyche, as the NBA basketball star known to NBA fans, was never told the identity of his father. His mother, Asia Morell, felt it was best not to tell Isaiah's father, Nicholas, the news when she first found out she was pregnant twenty-two years ago. She wanted to allow him to finish school and she just knew he would do the right thing and marry her if he knew the truth. She felt that in the long run, he would resent her seeing her pregnancy as the reason he would not reach his dream of being a lawyer. Just as father and son are reunited, a tragedy occurs. The tragedy brings Nicholas and Asia together; although Nicholas harbors underlining anger at Asia for keeping him away from his son. Nicholas also has an estranged wife, who puts a halt on their divorce plans when she finds out about Asia and Isaiah. Torrie Jefferson is Isaiah`s girlfriend. She has a difficult decision to make about her future. It is up to Nicholas and Asia to ensure that she does not make a mistake that could destroy her relationship with Isaiah.

In this novel, the strong Christian is Nicholas Reynolds. Rarely in Christian fiction is the male character shown in such light. It was a delight to see Nicholas lead the family in prayer and provide spiritual guidance. However, the constant apologizing and the rehashing of the past became tiresome. The family faced so many tragedies that the reading became depressing. All I could think about was the song, "Jesus Knows Just How Much We Can Bear." Overall, this was a good read. Not only was there a spiritual story, but there was mystery and suspense surrounding one of the tragedies.

I read this book sometime ago and just added it to my collection. It was a really good book and so easy to read. You couldn't help but fall in love with the characters and wish them the best. Romance and Love written at it's best. I am a die-hard romantic and this book did not disappoint.

I thought this was one incredible book. I was kinda mad that Asia didnt tell her son about her dad but in reality that happens a lot. Anyway I thought it was an awsome book and I am looking forward to reading more books by this author. And to those of you that thought it was boring was probably looking for a lot of sex and cursing and other decitful things that other authors write about. Not all books have to have that kind of stuff in it to be good. I know I read all kind of books and if anyone would like to have a disscussion about a book hit me up!!

This is one of the best authors I have come across in years! She impacts a lot of events in the first few chapters. This book will definitely keep your interest alive. This book made me cry on several occasions, it made me laugh, and it gave me a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. Thank You Ms. Hudson-Smith for a great begining.

This is a nice clean book that believers can read and enjoy. No "F" or "S" words in this book at all. The "h" word is in here 1-3 times.

There was only one discrepency in the book. But, the book was so great, it was hardly worth mentioning.

I will definitely read more of her material.

This book was very inspirational and these are real life issues. Isaiah and his father was reunited together at God's time. I disagree with the person that had the title Good Idea, Bad Writing, but everyone is entitled to there own opinion. The comment made about how the author kept pointing out that Isaiah and Torri were carbon copies of Asia & Nicholas, well you have to look at it like this. Isaiah was raised by his mom and his mom alone. I was alway told that 9 times out of 10 a male is going to marry a lady that has the same characters either his mother/sister has, especially if they are good. And Isaiah loved his mom. This is a good read for females just as well as males. I commend Ms. Hudson and encourage her to keep up the good work.

This is more a spiritual book than a Christian book. Yes the main characters profess a belief in God. However that does not seem to stop them from declaring their love for each other even tho of them is married to someone else, crossing the line when being tactile and rejoicing over an out of wedlock birth, and being married for all the wrong reasons.

This has a soap atmosphere to it, the dialogue is extremely corny - if you want to read a book that deals with a real life topic and has real dialogue plus Christian style romance read Boaz Brown by Michelle Stimpson

I borrowed this from the library its taking me months to finish.

What a wonderful book. Linda Hudson-Smith has never failed in making me smile when reading her literature. She has a way of writing that pulls the reader in. Her characters were excellent role models who love GOD and did their best to live godly lives.

Although that crazy wife of his would have had to be handled another way, the story itself was awesome. Faith, trust in GOD, love for family, having a strong prayer life and living right were the main staples of this storyline and I loved every bit of it. It is endearing to see those that make it not forget how they made it. They took every opportunity to give GOD all the glory and thanks for eveything good and bad that occurred to them. If only we in the real world could be that faithful to GOD in the good and the bad times. It certainly gives me something to aspire to.

Keep up the good work LInda.
