An inspirational story about the allure of fame and the faith that binds a family forever . . .

Delilah Monroe has done everything in her power to keep her three daughters strong since the death of her husband. And a big part of that connection is their singing group, Delilah's Daughters. Veronica, Roxanne, and Alisha each have their own unique sense of self, but they all share the dream of Delilah's Daughters hitting the Billboard charts.

Now, just as they enter the final round of a national talent show, a record producer approaches Veronica with the promise of fame . . . if she goes solo. Then the man Delilah has always leaned on wants more from her than just friendship, and someone from her past comes calling with a shocking secret. Will Delilah be able to hold her family together?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Even though Roxanne, Veronica, and Alisha are as different as three sisters can be, their combined talents shine in the pop-gospel group their parents, Rocky and Delilah, helped them form. Although Rocky’s death affected his wife and daughters deeply, Delilah’s eye for business has brought new success. When they find out that Delilah’s Daughters has made it to the final round of a popular singing competition, they can’t imagine how quickly the entire family’s lives will turn upside down. A solo contract from a prestigious record label threatens to break up the group, and when new paramours and old lovers enter the equation, Delilah and her daughters have to figure out if the cost of success is truly worth the price. This sweetly tender story of one family’s attempt to navigate the rocky waters of stardom focuses on the importance of loyalty, sacrifice, and second chances. Benson’s intimate knowledge of the music industry is evident, and her charming, inspirational novel will appeal both to fans of Martha Southgate and loyal Behind the Music viewers. --Stephanie Turza

Review

“A talented author.” — Library Journal (generic quote)

“A great read.” — Austin Weekly News

“[Benson’s] themes will resound with many readers and her portrayal of a newly reformed, albeit occasionally backsliding, sinner is masterful.” — Booklist

“With characters you can’t help rooting for, Up Pops the Devil is a wonderful story about hope, faith, and redemption―the kind of story we can all learn valuable lessons from.” — Kimberla Lawson Roby, New York Times bestselling author of Sin No More

“A wonderful twist on a story that’s as old as the ages―conflict and competition between siblings―with scandal and suspense added to the mix. An entertaining, enjoyable novel that deserves to be on every bestseller’s list.” — Victoria Christopher Murray, bestselling author of Too Little, Too Late

Delilah’s Daughter’s is a captivating story from the beginning to the breathtaking end. — Romantic Times BOOKclub, 4 1/2 stars

“This sweetly tender story of one family’s attempt to navigate the rocky waters of stardom focuses on the importance of loyalty, sacrifice, and second chances…[a] charming, inspirational novel.” — Booklist

Delilah's Daughters -Angela Benson This book was amazing from start to beginning to the end. Delilah Daughters was based on family that was a family gospel singing group that was living the dream that father had left behind. There were a lot of twist and turns that were great and well thought out. The secret that was revealed in this story was mind blowing, this was an amazing story that taught family values,secrets, communication and more.

This is my first Book by Angela Benson and definitely won't the last.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very heartwarming and true to life. In life we keep so many secrets. I love the forgiveness, the many faults we share as humans. The selfish desires displayed in all of us but the reality of family is family. This was a great read and I am glad I remembered Ms. Benson as a great writer when I purchased this book

A Gospel singing group can run into moments of sadness and happiness. After entering a singing Gospelfest, Veronica, Roxanne and Alisha, all sisters, lose the contest. Delilah their mother is the support and manager of the group. So she is hurt by the loss also. Some people in the audience voiced their love of the group and wanted Delilah's Daughters to win. It isn't long before Veronica is asked to join a big musical corporation named Legends. However, this means leaving her mother and sisters behind while she hopefully soars to the top of the charts as a dancer/singer. Delilah's Daughters by Angela Benson shows what happens when one or two members of a family decide to shoot for success without the rest of the family.

Suddenly, the family is torn apart. Old secrets fall out of the closet. For different reasons each person in the family is fighting a battle. Most of all I enjoyed Delilah. She's a very wise woman, but she has her weaknesses too. The novel is Christian Fiction. It is easy to see that the Christian journey of life has its difficulties. When Alisha meets a new family member, I thought the friendship developed too quickly. The way the mother and daughter react or don't react to Alisha seemed more real. I have to admit Tia bothered me. She is Veronica's talent coach. The stress of her job makes Tia hard to know. I could read a whole book about any one of the three sisters or the mother. I feel Roxanne could really use a book of her own. Really liked the book.angelabenson.com/books

This novel really got my goat...here I was all read to dislike Dexter, I was just jumping to conclusions. But, Dexter proved me wrong, he didn't cheat on his wife. Delilah stunned me into silence, not only did she cheat on her husband, but she had the baby. Wow, she really did fess up to her wrong doing, which is rare, but she finally has to tell her daughter's about it. One daughter flips out, because she has just followed in her mother's footsteps in a way. The other two freak out. They all end up closer than ever....Now you see, this is what I would love to see more of in real life....great story...keep writing.

Delilah’s Daughters is about the Monroe family and their trials and tribulations through life. It starts out with three sisters wanting to become the next big gospel group. Things didn’t turn out exactly how they dreamed. After a devastating blow one sister leaves the group to become a solo act. Another sister throws her morals out the window for a man. The baby sister found out everything about her childhood was a lie and her mother was at the helm of it. The real question is can the Monroe’s survive all this and become a loving family again?
This is a faith based book. It gently takes you through right and wrong without beating you over the head. It has been awhile since we have heard from this author. Glad she is back.
