Rating: Summary: Her first book was a hit, but not this one. Review: I am in a Christian women's bookclub and they read this however I was not impressed. Most of the young ladies thoroughly enjoyed the book. I thoroughly enjoyed her first book "Singsation." That was one of the best books I have read. This was not a novel of faith like Singsation. I expected more on faith and less drama. This was a soap opera not an uplifting book. The characters were really weak as well as the storyline. I think she is a good writer so I am going to try her other books.
Rating: Summary: Weak Story Review: Oh people, I got to tell you the truth. This story is so slow and the author repeats the same things over and over again. Another thing is that black people do not talk like the characters the author is portraying. This is a good book title, but it needs another storyline with stronger black characters that don't pretend to sound white. Sad to say, I could not finish this book because it was going in circles. I skimmed through it and of course, predictability was inevitable. The main character, Jake, really was not what one would call a "prodigal husband." Thomas should have made his character more like the prodigal son of the Holy Bible. Jake didn't do enough dirt to be considered a prodigal husband.I'd like to see Terri MacMillan or Sister Souljah rewrite this story using the same title, or perhaps a strong contemporary christian fiction writer could rewrite it. I love christian fiction, but I wasn't feeling this story at all.
