It was raw and inviting and I was quickly drawn into her story-the story of a woman openly displaying her mess and how Jesus came into her life and how her life as a mess with Jesus continued.

I did enjoy it and, yes, as other reviewers noted it is more of the same of what we were given in Traveling Mercies &amp; Plan B, but I don't know that I would expect anything different from her. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17189407">more...</a>]]></body>
