Linda loves good Christian fiction. Back in the day, Linda loved having Lisa as one of her son's guidance counselors. Heaven opened when Linda discovered Lisa had published a delightful Christian fiction trilogy. Lisa discusses how her professional and personal experiences brought her characters to life. Her desire was to create multi-dimensional characters struggling with real-life questions and she delivers! Lisa has spent years working with students and families in difficult situations so she knows, first hand, that real-life can be messy but also offers opportunities for moments of grace and redemption. In the book, Marita is a single mom to teenage Charlie. When Charlie's father (new, young wife at his side) reappears after years of denying her existence and demands custody, Marita will do whatever it takes to be sure her daughter is protected. The new, young wife, Angel wants to support her husband's better instincts and start a family of their own. Nancy connected with scrappy Marita while Linda connected with loving Angel. We both loved feisty Charlie. Lisa reveals this is exactly what she wanted! Join us as we talk about faith, divorce, families, friends, and have some hearty laughs about traffic jams in unnamed church parking lots!
