CFBA Book Tour - Out of Her Hands

This is a great book! It is very well written, has a well developed plot, and characters you care about. I stayed up until the wee hours finishing it, as I was so curious how things would work out. I found that I had much in common with Linda, the main character as I too pray about my children's future spouses and want the very best for them. It is a great story about life, motherhood, and remembering God is in control. I really enjoyed it and I'm sure you will too.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In this second novel by Megan DiMaria, Linda Revere is back and continuing to struggle with the turmoil of contemporary life. Linda has been praying for her children's future spouses since they were very small. Confident that her prayers will be answered, Linda is not prepared for the young woman her son brings home. But Linda soon learns that while everything she once controlled is out of her hands, God is still in control. Megan uses her trademark humor while dealing with issues to which her readers will relate.
