aggressive_nostalgia's review against another edition
An enjoyable novel - surprisingly gripping. Becky was a fun person to read about. Since I'm seventeen and not a married mother of three, I found it hard to relate to her exact situations, but I could definitely relate to her stress level! The plot was full of surprise twists (and I must say I absolutely loved reading her little daydream scenarios at the beginning of each chapter - very entertaining, and something else I could relate to). This story captured a solid lesson about trusting God beyond your own fears, hopes, and plans. A thoroughly enjoyable book. Sharon Hinck is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine!

Becky Miller is a daydreaming mom. She escapes from her overcommitted life by thinking up adventures where she is scaling skyscrapers or on secret spy missions. We follow her through a series of minor/major crisises: Her church women's ministry, which she is in charge of, is changed to be under the directorship of a paid staff member. Becky things that surely she will get the job, but she doesn't meet her church's educational requirements, so she is passed over. This makes her livid, especially since her husband has been laid off and they could really use the money. Even more so when their son needs surgery for an ear problem. Through all this turmoil, Becky learns about the importance of a supportive friend network, how to support her husband, how to be gracious with her church, and how to say NO.[return]Good for an amusing escape, fairly predictable.

Cute Christian fiction book that I borrowed from my sister Gail. First in a series but I'm not sure I'll read the others. It was cute and good Christian fiction (many overt references, so if you don't enjoy Christian fiction, skip this one), but it was very SAHM. Since I'm not a mom, this one didn't appeal to me as much, but it still had a good story and lots of funny references to harried life of a busy stay-at-home mom of three kids.

Very well written especially in the way things flowed and connected. More than fluff. I wish I could rate three point five stars, cause neither three nor four stars seems right. The beginning of each chapter is essentially a 'daydream' that fits in with how Becky feels during the chapter. It is an interesting way of doing things. Usually the 'daydream' is referenced to somehow at the end of the chapter as well. "Everything works together..."
