1. Discuss Ace’s “responsibility is optional” mentality when it came to learning that Talise might be pregnant.
2. Discuss Talise’s initial decision not to put the Jamieson name on her baby’s birth certificate. Is it justified if the father doesn’t want to claim responsibility?
3. Discuss Sandra’s role in Talise’s life. Were you for her relationship and interactions with Talise as a friend? (I would really love to hear your answers on this one).

5. Ace didn’t understand why God hadn’t acted until his mom and brother explained that he had to go to God in the right spirit, not wanting something. Discuss your opinion on this.
6. What is your opinion of Minister Thomas? Should he have stepped aside as Ace requested, or should he have fought for Talise?
7. Did Ace deserve a second chance?
8. Which character in the book did you most identify with? Why?
9. Have you had a chance to research your family genealogy? Do you plan to?
