Between Sundays and Sins: A Story of Faith, Hunger, and the Danger of Feeling Seen

Between Sundays and Sins

Helen Mercer has spent eleven years being called a pillar — of her church, her community, her family. CEO of a successful Manhattan consulting firm, devoted deaconess, faithful wife, proud mother. From the outside, her life is a model of discipline and devotion.

But pillars don't move. And Helen has spent years quietly, desperately not moving.

When a brilliant young intern joins her firm, he doesn't just impress her with his work — he sees her, in a way no one has in a very long time. What begins as professional respect slowly becomes something Helen has no name for, something her faith has no easy answer to.

Set against the backdrop of New York City — corner offices, late nights, Sunday pews — Between Sundays and Sins is a raw, deeply emotional story about faith, loneliness, temptation, and the gap between who we promise to be and who we actually are when no one is watching.

Written in Helen's own voice, this is a story about the choices we make in private moments — and the question of what we owe the people who trust us once those choices are made.

A story about desire, guilt, faith, and the cost of finally being seen.
