No Shadow of Turning

by DR. JOYCE DIXON HIGHTOWER

No Shadow of Turning is the story of Marshall Anderson, a black American whose life was turned upside down at the age of five when a drunk driver killed his parents. His Christian grandparents then raised him in Southern California during the 1960s and ‘70s. Marshall struggles to make sense of his situation until he realizes that his life has a God-determined purpose, and he embarks on the road to making this a reality.

Marshall leads us on a rich, multicultural adventure that begins in California’s quiet orange groves of Riverside, goes through the sometimes challenging streets of Los Angeles, the very risky interior of Sudan and Uganda, to the busy city streets of Nairobi and the rural area of Meru and Mombasa in Kenya. His path is by no means smooth as he maneuvers through racism, hidden agendas, unsettling self-discovery, life-threatening travel adventures, culture shock, the death of a loved one, and the challenges of friendship, family, and love. Yet, all along, he learns to view his life path through the lens of God’s faithfulness.

What if your life suddenly shifted from predictable to miraculous? What if the ordinary moments you walked through every day were actually steps in a divine plan? In Unbelievably Believable: A Slice of My Life, Dr. Joyce D. Hightower opens the door to a life few have witnessed—and even fewer would believe without seeing it for themselves.

This riveting memoir spans two transformative decades in the life of a single mother, physician, and faith-driven servant who answered a call that led her deep into the heart of Africa. What began as a last-minute medical mission turned into a divine appointment—one prophesied decade before her arrival. With each unexpected twist, Dr. Hightower encountered events that defied science, challenged her understanding of faith, and ultimately revealed the powerful truth of God’s intentional hand in the details of our lives.

Through miraculous encounters, culture-shifting experiences, and impossible odds, Dr. Hightower recounts her journey with breathtaking honesty and humility. Her story is more than inspiring—it is faith-igniting. From resurrection moments to soul-deep reckonings, this book is a testimony to what happens when you surrender your plans and say “yes” to something greater.

Unbelievably Believable will leave you laughing, crying, reflecting, and believing again—in purpose, in miracles, and in the profound power of obedience.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a divine encounter.
Walk with her. Question with her. And maybe, like her, you’ll find yourself exactly where you were meant to be.
