Out of Her Hands

Out Of Her Hands
by Megan DiMaria

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I was born and raised in New York State and have since lived in Maine, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, New Jersey, and now I live in Colorado. My husband and I have three delightful, adult children and an old Jack Russell Terrier named
Belle who seems to find her way into my novels. My resume will tell you I graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh with a degree in Communications, and after graduation I worked as a radio and television reporter, freelance writer, editor and marketing professional.

I'm a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and am assistant director of Words For The Journey, Rocky Mountain Region.

But what's most important to know about me is that I am a follower of Jesus, wife, mother, friend, reader and writer.

Life’s a journey, enjoy the adventures!

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.

Karla's Review: This was a good read about very real issues that many parents today have to deal with. I also enjoyed the "side plot" involving the upscale photography studio where Linda works, and how it ended up tying in with the main plot. Fun twist!

oh! this one sounds like fun!

my oldest is 10, now, and Mommy and Daddy have really started praying that the teen years (and beyond) will be covered by God's mercy and that He would give us all discernment to survive the changes.

This book sounds like the perfect book for so many Christian mothers today.

They pray for their child's future spouse. But, then what happens when you are weary of someone they bring home.

Looks very interesting!
