Just Between You and Me: A Novel of Losing Fear and Finding God (Women of Faith) by Jenny Jones

Book Description:
The only thing scarier than living on the edge is stepping off it.

Maggie Montgomery lives a life of adventure. Her job as a cinematographer takes her from one exotic locale to the next. When Maggie's not working, she loves to rappel off cliffs or go skydiving. Nothing frightens her.

Nothing, that is, except Ivy, Texas, where a family emergency pulls her back home to a town full of bad memories, painful secrets, and people Maggie left far behind . . . for a reason.

Forced to stay longer than she intended, Maggie finds her family a complete mess, including the niece her sister has abandoned. Ten-year-old Riley is struggling in school and out of control at home. The only person who can really handle the pint-sized troublemaker is Conner, the local vet and Ivy's most eligible bachelor. But Conner and Maggie keep butting heads--he's suspicious of her and, well, she doesn't rely on anyone but herself.

As Maggie humorously fumbles her way from one mishap to another, she realizes she's going to need to ask for help from the one person who scares her the most.

To save one little girl--and herself--can Maggie let go of her fears and just trust God?

Absolutely wonderful! I zipped through this novel today and enjoyed every moment! I sit here now after finishing the last page, with a grin on my face and a smile in my heart. This novel was drenched lovingly in truth, grace, hope and love - all without being preachy!

Looking for some encouragement, it's wrapped up in this tale. I loved the characters, the romance, the struggle our heroine faced. I would gladly again devour this novel! Add this to your must read list this year... it will be worth it!


***There were a few typos, but overall very well written.
