What is this book about?
At forty-two, fiercely independent Jess Becker is starting over in Kansas City with minimal furniture, two houseplants, and a newfound faith. After a lifetime of poor choices, she’s determined to finally get it right.
When she befriends her fourteen-year-old neighbor and agrees to drive her to church, she’s swept into a caring community where she meets Reva, a wise mentor figure, and Austie, a troubled young woman. Jess reluctantly opens her home to pizza nights with her new friends, unwittingly opening her heart to a sisterhood of faith.
Just as these relationships begin reshaping her carefully controlled life, Jess receives news that changes everything. Now she must decide whether to accept the very help she’s been trying to give others or risk losing everything she’s worked so hard to build.
My review:
This was a deeply inspirational story from the perspective of a newer Christian who was changing her life course and eager to grow in her faith. The characters were real and flawed. I loved the biblical focus on how we are to love, lift up, and do for each other as Jesus has done for us. This story made me laugh and cry, but more importantly it reminded me that I am not alone, that Jesus designed us to support each other. This book is going on my keeper shelf. I highly recommend it.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Deep faith thread
What I didn’t like about this book:
Nothing
Would I recommend this book to others? Definitely. Real characters, honest emotions, hope-filled storyline, and deeply inspirational. This is a standalone story.
