He suggests she take a month and then give him a call. Maybe he'll have a job for her.
Suddenly Gillian finds out that she is no longer in control of her life. How will she deal with her defeated mother? How can she get through to her snippy sister? And where is God in all of this?
Snelling has written another great novel. There is a bit of humor, a bit of struggling with God, a bit of romance, a bit of family dynamics, a bit of gardening and a bit of wondering what life will bring. This is an all around pleasing novel and with the reading group guide in the back, a good choice for groups reading romance novels.
