Divine Truth

Blind faith after a recent death causes a break with reality when grief is not properly dealt with within this Christian Science family. Here, matter is false, disease does not exist, death is not acknowledged, and truth depends on who is telling it.

    Wow! What a story. Divine Truth delves into the inner realms of a family coping with the life issues of love, death, marriage, parenting, an intense religious doctrine, and all the emotions that spring out of them after a personal tragedy. It’s quite the story. Well done, Debra Cole!

    Deb has a wonderfully unique gift to create powerful female characters that the audience become invested in, and so it was the case here with me. I found myself feeling so much for Eleanor, struck down by grief and not being aware of things going on in her own family. Its a piece that addresses religion and in certain parts the hypocrisy of a 'holier than thou' attitude when the person in question has secrets of their own. As an audience you will be taken into the lives of these wonderfully created characters and NEED to know what happens!
