Who Do I Lean On by Neta Jackson: "

Now that Gabby is back on her feet after being in a homeless shelter, she has a new dream that will stretch her faith farther than ever.


Gabby expects a fight from her husband over custody of their boys, but she is taken aback when he leans on her for a loan to cover his gambling debts. When she turns him down, Philip makes a desperate move that puts Gabby, her friends at the shelter, and even the House of Hope at risk.


The props Gabby usually leans on–Jodi, her Yada Yada prayer partner; her friend Harry, the ex-cop; and Lee, her lawyer, who has fallen in love with Gabby–are not always there when she needs them most. Gabby must make a decision that could change the course of her life. But is it for better–or for worse?


My Review: I enjoy these books soooo much. I think it’s because I wish I was in a group like the Yada Yada prayer group! They so take care of each other and everyone else they come into contact with! I can’t really relate to the character Gabby, I would just like to tell her what to do in the case of her love life. I guess my mantra is don’t trust anyone for a while at least. I always love Jodi Baxter and I can relate to her – happy marriage and public school teacher. The only difference is I have three kids and they are older.


I ordered the first parallel novel, Harry Bentley’s Second Chance by Neta Jackson’s husband Dave. Can’t wait to get it. These books take off on the secondary characters in Neta’s books. It will be nice to read about Christian men from a Christian man’s point of view! This book will help me wait until March 2011 when the next book in the series comes out, Who is My Shelter? These books rate at the top of my list of favorite Christian fiction books. Keep them coming, Neta and Dave!"
