President/CEO of Franklin Entertainment and former Sony Pictures executive DeVon Franklin and award-winning actress Meagan Good have learned sometimes all we can do is wait for "the one" to come into our lives. They spent years crossing paths, but it wasn't until they were thrown together while working on the film Jumping the Broom that their storybook romance began.

Faced with starting a new relationship and wanting to avoid potentially devastating relationship pitfalls, DeVon and Meagan chose to do something almost unheard of in today's society—abstain from sex until they were married.

In The Wait, DeVon and Meagan share the life-changing message that waiting—rather than rushing a relationship—can help you find the person you're meant to be with. Filled with candid his-and-hers accounts of the most important moments of their relationship, and practical advice on how waiting for everything—from dating to sex—can transform relationships, allowing you to find a deep connection based on patience, trust, and faith.

DeVon Franklin is a growing force in entertainment and media. Beliefnet named him one of the "Most Influential Christians Under 40." The bestselling author of Produced By Faith: Enjoy Real Success Without Losing Your True Self is also president and CEO of Franklin Entertainment, a preacher, and a motivational speaker. He's a graduate of the University of Southern California.

Meagan Good is an award-winning actress and producer who has starred as the lead in the Fox series Minority Report. She's top lined some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, including Think Like a Man, Think Like a Man Too, Anchorman: The Legend Continues, Stomp the Yard, and the critically acclaimed Eve's Bayou. She's also cofounder of The Greater Good Foundation, a non-profit organization that advocates for the empowerment and enrichment of young women.

Allyson Johnson began her entertainment career in her hometown of Chicago as an Emmy Award-winning child news anchor. A graduate of Brown University, she is a working actress, singer, and audiobook narrator in the New York City metropolitan area.

JD Jackson is a theater professor, aspiring stage director, and award-winning audiobook narrator. A classically trained actor, his television and film credits include roles on House, ER, Law & Order, Hack, Sherrybaby, Diary of a City Priest, and Lucky Number Slevin. The recipient of several audiobook awards for narration and an Odyssey Honor for G. Neri's Ghetto Cowboy, JD has also been named one of AudioFile magazine's Best Voices of the Year for 2012 and 2013.
