Nobody ever says no to Ben Washington.

As the successful black CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Ben is as vindictive as he is wealthy. His employees fear him, his daughters detest him, and his son Landon struggles to put up with his suffocating demands.

But after he orders his son’s white fiancé to break up with him, he takes things a step too far. Because Ben has a dark secret – one that he doesn’t want getting out. When Landon learns that his father threatened to plunge his finance’s parents into poverty, he becomes determined to stop his father’s controlling ways for good.

Landon might be the only one who can make his father see the light. But can he find the strength to stand up to a man who an entire company fears? Or will this family collapse under the weight of Ben’s fury?

As a gripping and emotional book that tackles difficult social issues including race relations and dysfunctional families, Things Happen For a Reason is a profound read that’s perfect for anyone who wants to discover a story of redemption, love, and the strength of family.
