Back Cover Copy: From the moment we met, obstetrician Clay Reynolds scorned my profession as a birthing coach. His scathing remarks left me crying on the shoulder of my potbellied pig, Gertie! It seems only the handsome doc's eight-year-old son, who thinks I hung the moon, can make Clay be civil to me.
Clay is a great doctor and loving father. And we're finding a lot in common as we volunteer together at a free clinic. But he's still frowning at me in the delivery room.
So how can I convince him God gave me skills that complement his own? Maybe with a little help from above I can change Clay's attitude toward doulas in general… and me in particular.
In general, a very enjoyable book. Fun, sassy, just enough Christianity to be good but not preachy, and with the usual Judy Baer style of fun characters. However, the characters in this novel felt eerily similar to other characters in a previous novel. Right down to the plethora of animals--albeit different types of animals, but still.
The only things I disliked about this novel was that I was never sure if I like Clay. He was hateful to just about everyone but to Molly he was worst. I never quite understood why she'd even give him the time of day outside the hospital while he was trying to be nice. Perhaps she's merely a stronger Christian than I am but I'd have told him to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
I guess you could say that I have mixed feelings about it. I enjoyed it, but at the same time it annoyed me a bit. Either way, if you like inspirational women's fiction/chick lit, go read it for yourselves and let me know what YOU think.
It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
Very good review,Jana.
Am sure I have this in my TBR collection somewhere,may have to go do some checking as it really sounds like one I would enjoy.
