More Than Diamonds

Author: Danyelle Scroggins

✨ More Than Diamonds is a story for every woman who’s ever given her all to family—only to realize she’s forgotten herself along the way.

Destiny Strong was once the woman in a white t-shirt cleaning the church and tending the flower beds. Now, she’s First Lady extraordinaire—the picture of grace and strength. But behind the perfect image, Destiny is falling apart. With her son leaving for the Navy and the pressures of family and ministry pulling her thin, she’s fighting to hold on to herself.

Pastor Roderick Strong loves his wife, but even he can’t seem to help her through this storm—so he calls in backup: Pastor and Dr. Rosalee Day. Through raw, emotional sessions with Rosalee, Destiny begins to see that her worth isn’t tied to being “Pastor Strong’s wife” or “Scott’s mama”—she’s a woman with dreams, purpose, and value.

When she’s asked to lead Faith Temple Cathedral’s First Annual Mother’s Day Banquet, Destiny steps into her own—and with the help of a few good friends, she’s about to turn pain into purpose.

But life—and church folk—don’t always make it easy.

A story of faith, friendship, healing, and discovering that women are worth more than the finest jewels, More Than Diamonds will leave you inspired to reclaim your worth—because you’re priceless.
