Lisa Hodges is the quiet, reserved first lady of the fast-growing Pilgrim Baptist Church. Unbeknownst to those around her, Lisa''s calm demeanor masks a deep discontent, and they are about to witness a rebellion. Lisa, the mother of two, has gotten lost in the lives of her children and her role as first lady. She had long ago given up on obtaining any happiness or success of her own, but now she feels something stirring in her soul. Her husband Charles is so focused on climbing the ministerial ladder--and the many women standing in line to fulfill his every need and desire--that he fails to acknowledge his wife''s growing frustration. He believes that she is fulfilled with her life and her weekly meetings with her other first lady friends, so he doesn''t think twice when Alex Walker enters his church. Lisa, on the other hand, is charmed by the six-foot-tall, caramel-skinned Alex, and they soon begin a sexy, whirlwind affair. The forbidden love results in an unwanted pregnancy. To complicate matters even more, Alex has secrets of his own, and he is threatening to expose them all, one secret at a time. Will Lisa be able to deny her love for Alex and fix the mess she''s gotten herself into, or will her actions bring down her husband, her family, and the church?
