Jean has been called Blue Jean since childhood, but not because of her clothing. She wears nondescript colors and avoids people when she can. Her world is unhappy but predictable, until the new pastor and his handsome brother move into town. A chance encounter brings the town prostitute to church that Sunday, starting a chain reaction that will shake the church to its core.Will Jean embrace the truth that will set her free, or will fear keep her captive forever? Shredded was inspired by the Biblical story of the scandalous woman wiping Jesus' feet with her hair. If that story happened in a modern context on a larger scale, who would respond like the judgmental religious leader, who would respond like Jesus, and what would happen to the woman who'd been forgiven much? *********************Brookside Baptist Church, in Oakview, N.C., is bound by years of tradition and a powerful deacon. But when Pastor Stewart and his wife arrive in town, changes begin to take hold at the dusty church. Candy, a local prostitute, attends Pastor Stewart's first sermon and her life is transformed. To some of the elderly ladies' dismay, the ebullient town outcast begins to engage wholeheartedly with the church while learning to reform her life--providing an example of the redemptive power of Christ's love to even the most devout members. Candy's bubbly spirit brightens the church, inspiring the lonely Jean, a longtime church member, to come to engage with painful memories. For 15 years Jean has been holding a troubling secret about the church's deacon. In light of her knowledge, over the years Jean has made it her duty to guard the church children. Now, with the community slowly changing, Blue Jean is able to let down her defenses and find unexpected comfort with the pastor's handsome brother, Grant, who helps her heal at last. Rae brings to light difficult subject matter with empathy and restraint, gracefully exploring the pain of overcoming violation and trauma through the eyes of the victims. Rae's characters are realistic and endearing. This is an uplifting story about the courage it takes to reform a community and care for the marginalized and neglected. - Publisher's Weekly /Fiction-Overcoming Child Abuse /Fiction-Freedom from the Past /Fiction-Fighting Human Trafficking /Fiction-Christian Suspense /Fiction-Christian Romance /Fiction-Facing Fears. …

Praise For Shredded
...this book really blew me away! So many nice little Christian novels out there, but so few that really attempt to be life-changing....It makes such a difference!... I was so taken away with the story. All the emotion, the drama, the romance and tenderness, the action, adventure. I couldn't wait to see what happened but I didn't want it to end either. I really can't say enough good things about it and how much I enjoyed it. WOW!... I was nervous with anticipation and crying and so caught up in it all. I had to put the book down to give myself an emotional break. :) ... I rarely cry over books, but I think that other than Karen Kingsbury, [Rae is] the only other author that has made me cry while reading a book. -Sue
I love it!!!...[Rae's] best book yet I think! Can't put it down. -Mary
I couldn't put the book down... a compelling story of suspense and romance. -Jeanie
...incredible. -Michael
I think this is [Rae's] best book yet. It is so relative to today's church and how we treat people. It is a wonderful mix of relationships, interwoven with suspense and love. It is a must read for anyone who thinks their past defines them and gives them no hope, whether they are a victim of human trafficking, child abuse, or just bad decision making, because Jesus can wipe the slate clean. -Wanda
This is an intense book! Very well written, great character development....I don't know someone that couldn't identify with one or more characters in it, the heart, the heartbreak, the discomfort with someone they don't know/understand, the living in fear. I LOVE Candy's character....She is so raw and real....I literally cried. I cannot say enough about this book. I literally couldn't put it down. It was SO GOOD. -Amy
Shredded was compelling, convicting, and compassionate at once...a deeply disturbing reality packaged with grace, humor, and a sweet love story. I couldn't put it down. -Joy
...hands down my favorite author. -Tiffany
Warning!! You won't want to put it down once you get started!! ...there's no stopping. Awesome, awesome book!!!! -Sue
