Summary: Patience Is A Virtue
Review: In UNACCUSTOMED TO WAITING, the sequel to Ladies In Waiting, Linda Hudson-Smith further develops the characters Christian readers have come to love. Reverend Jessie Covington has recently been released from wrongful imprisonment and due to this he has seen first hand how families are affected by incarceration. Through divine guidance he sees a need within his community that he wishes to fulfill, inspired by his wife and her undying support he begins a support group for men with incarcerated spouses and girlfriends.

Hudson-Smith explores real and difficult issues facing families and communities today: such as wayward children, absentee fathers, and the destruction that drugs cause, among other things. Not only does she address these issues, she demonstrates through the fictional characters that when you believe in God and prayer, you can conquer all obstacles in your way. The underlying message throughout the novel is to stay in prayer and stay with God.

Christian fiction is a genre that I have not ventured into until reading, UNACCUSTOMED TO WAITING. I half expected to read a Sunday sermon, as opposed to an interesting and nicely written novel. I was quite wrong in my assumptions and enjoyed the literary offering of Linda Hudson-Smith. I do, however, recommend reading Ladies In Waiting first; without doing so you may feel that you are missing pertinent information to the storyline.
