In the Pulpit

Cecilia Baker is a young, gifted vocalist, who was born and raised in a small town in Texas. Cecilia's mother was seventeen when she gave birth to her. Unfortunately, she never told anyone who the father was. At the age of two, Cecilia mother suddenly dies, and Cecilia was taken in and raised by her strict, and God-fearing grandmother Gayle Baker. Cecilia grew up attending church and listening to gospel music. She loved to imitate the gospel singers on the radio that played all day in her grandmother's home. And the older she got, the better her voice became. At the sweet age of fifteen, all the singing in the world couldn't save Cecilia from the hands in the Pulpit of the church she loved to showcase her voice. The fire of hell rose in the walls of the church after she announced she was pregnant; the father of the child was a beloved minister. He sat in the Pulpit every Sunday. Disgracefully Cecelia's grandmother would not listen to truth. Sadly, Cecelia came to a crossroad in her life. She had to decide, whether she should leave the nightmare she couldn't awaken from in Sugarville, Texas, or stay and raise a child conceived by rape.
