Perfect for you if...

  • You've followed Curtis Black through the entire series and want closure on the character arc that's defined all fifteen books.
  • You're drawn to stories about generational trauma and how parents' hidden wounds damage their children.
  • You appreciate domestic fiction that doesn't shy away from the messy reality of what happens when secrets implode a family.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're new to the series and expect to jump in at book 15 without context from the previous novels.
  • You prefer standalone stories with self-contained plots rather than series conclusions.
  • You want escapism rather than heavy emotional excavation of trauma and family dysfunction.

About this book

Better Late Than Never concludes the Reverend Curtis Black series. Rev. Curtis Black has lived a public life marked by both good and evil actions, but he has concealed a traumatic childhood that has profoundly affected him in numerous ways. Curtis's buried past resurfaces when his estranged sister becomes seriously ill and his twelve-year-old daughter Curtina begins displaying wild and rebellious behavior. The emergence of Curtis's childhood secrets and Curtina's conduct create significant strain on Curtis and his entire family. The private turmoil they face now overshadows the public scandals they have endured over the years. The deepest wounds, it turns out, come from within the family itself.
