(Black PR Wire) Miami, FL -- Spring is in the air.  It's a great time to get outdoors and take a good book with you for an awe-inspiring read.  A Matter of Choice, written by Author Richelle A. Lorde, is one such book to read, ponder over, and enjoy!

Rave reviews and pouring in from all over the country on the accomplished work of this multi-talented community leader, public figure and writer.  A former model and beauty queen, Richelle is also the Senior Pastor of a mega church, is the first and the only female Chaplain for the City’s Police force. Her life-long burning desire to expand her love for writing and business development has manifested in her published book.

A Matter of Choice, Richelle's first fiction novel, focuses on Alicia who finds out who she really is and how her journey to venture a path that refuses to settle for social and gender divide, sexism and the like, unlocks a truth within her that changes her very existence. From start to finish, this riveting story of this young woman’s journey into the essence of who she was created to be brings a sense of self-reflection, as so much of Alicia’s world and series of events in some way or another can easily mirror our own.

“This book, A Matter of Choice, is a captivating novel and one that I strongly encourage you to share in Alicia’s wonderful discovery and to be a part of the fan club that cheers her on from chapter to chapter and book to book,” says Richelle A. Lorde. “Like Alicia, sooner or later, we will all realize that life decisions are just a matter of choice.  My hope is that this novel takes each reader on a deep and inner-personal track on who you are, and where you are going in your life.”
