Forbidden Fruit

What used to be a happy marriage has quickly disintegrated. Eight years after they married, Keith “KJ” Johnson and Tonya Lacey find themselves unable to conceive a child and increasingly distant.

Tonya knows that KJ is turning to another woman, but Tonya’s life is filled with the community of her church, and she’s decided to “let go and let God.” This is when a light appears in their broken marriage: Tonya is pregnant, and there’s new hope for reconciliation.

But everything—marriage, union, and faith—will be tested when Tonya’s blood tests come back HIV-positive. KJ and Tonya try desperately to repair their relationship, but the damage is severe. Can Keith find his way back to Tonya and back to God? Can Tonya find a way to forgive and to trust again?

Through a cast of unforgettable characters, Forbidden Fruit reveals the lasting effects of infidelity and promiscuity—and the striking reality that none of us are beyond the reach of this very real disease.
