Forbidden Love:Written by Lisa Jones Gentry, As Told by Joe Steele is a story of forbidden love. It is a sweet romance story, but at the same time it is a story that makes your heart grow just a little bigger knowing the whole story. Joe Steele had a story to tell and Lisa Jones Gentry listened and wrote his story. There was a couple of strikes against Sophie and Billy. They both belong to the Catholic religion one as a nun and one as a priest. Not only is Billy a priest, but he is also a African-American in the 1950’s. There are some rough roads that Billy and Sophie had to deal with their romance story. Out of their story, there was a baby born to the nun Sophie. This is a real-life story which cause my emotions go on a roller coaster ride. I did read this in one sitting and had a box a Kleenex by for my tears. I hope you find this story as beautiful as I did. Happy Reading.
