First is Limelight by Melody Carlson. Claudette Fiore used to be beautiful and somebody in Hollywood. Now she is old, poor, and alone. She thinks her life is over, but returning to her hometown and the house she grew up in, she learns about what is really important in life. I so enjoyed this book! It is well written and life affirming.
Next is Splitting Harriet by Tamara Leigh. Tamara Leigh's books are Christian chick lit, with thought provoking deeper issues included. Splitting Harriet was a fun read. I especially appreciated the depiction of the inner workings of a church that are spot on. Harriet is a pastor's daughter who rebelled in her life but has since returned to the church and works part time as the Women's Ministry Director. Her Dad retires and his new replacement at the church wants to change things and brings in a consultant to bring new life to their church. Harriet does not want anything to change. She bumps heads with the consultant, but ultimately learns much about herself, forgiveness, grace, and freedom in Christ. Highly recommended!
Last is Women's Intuition by Lisa Samson. I LOVE Lisa Samson. Her book Embrace Me is one of my all time favorite books. Women's Intuition was written in 2002, so it is not one of her new ones. I loved Women's Intuition, too! It is the story of a grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter, and a housekeeper. You will have to read the book to find out more. There is something about Lisa Samson's books that just make me happy to be alive. I so enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more of Lisa Samson's books.
