Behind the polished oak doors of The Vine Church, three prayers rise to heaven.Victoria Griffith prays for her husband's attention.
Mabel Babs-Jonah prays for another woman's life.
And Elizabeth David-West prays that her sins won't destroy them all.
At the altar stands Pastor John Griffith—a shepherd whose own flock might just lead him astray. His sermons speak of divine love, but his wife, Victoria, knows that even God's servants can forget how to love what's right in front of them. When Mabel, raw from abandonment and hungry for belonging, fixes her eyes on the good pastor, she sees not just a man of God, but a chance at the life she covets.
But it's Elizabeth, the pastor's own sister, who might strike the match that sets their carefully constructed world up in flames. She's trapped in a crumbling marriage and tangled in an affair with Barry—the same man whose departure shattered Mabel's family.
As these three families with all-too-human hearts merge, the church itself becomes the battlefield. Will they come out of it with their faith intact, or will it destroy the foundation of everything they hold sacred? In the end, grace may be their only salvation—but only if they can find it in time."The Vine Church" is a fictional drama that explores the lives of three women and their intertwined destinies within the church community. The narrative delves into their personal struggles, relationships, and the impact of their faith on their lives.
The story culminates in moments of reconciliation, forgiveness, and renewed faith among the characters, highlighting the power of community and spiritual support. - Sisterhood Book Club : That Peckham Boy by Kenny ImafidonZurich (TBC), Zürich

Two days after his eighteenth birthday, Kenny Imafidon was charged with the murder of a seventeen-year-old boy in south-east London. The middle child of a single mother with ambitions for her children, Kenny grew up near an estate in Peckham where deprivation and hopelessness were rife, and gang culture flourished in his community. Kenny faced a minimum of thirty years behind bars - longer than the life he had lived.When the case against Kenny collapsed, he quickly realised that his name was still inextricably linked with a horrific crime he hadn't committed. He decided to rewrite his story. It began with The Kenny Report, which he delivered to the House of Commons and which detailed the experiences of marginalised young people who drift into gangs, and has led to extensive work with charities, communities and policy-makers that is helping to change the narratives of other young people just like Kenny.
