This book is about two women, one a young college girl practically disowned by her parents for becoming a Christian and abandoning pre-med studies to study at a Christian college. The other is a middle aged woman having trouble with her second husband and runaway adult daughter. Both women are committed to Christ, but when their lives cross, don't see eye to eye with each other. The story is about how it turns out they both need each other and tells of how God can use the most unusual or unexpected person to bring about change in our lives.The story was pretty good, it flowed well and kept me reading. The characters were sometimes pretty annoying in their stubborn habits, and the women of the Yada Yada prayer group were cheesy (as evidenced by the name of the group!). Not really a style of book I would read again.
I received this book for free from booksneeze.com to review.

Thanks for the review ... I think. :-) Interesting that you thought name of the "Yada Yada" Prayer Group and its characters were cheesy. Maybe I didn't make it clear in this novel that "yada" is a Hebrew word found in the Old Testament over 900 times, and is a root word meaning "to know and be known intimately." Psalm 139 is a good example of "yada" being used in the Hebrew to describe how intimately God knows us. (This meaning comes across clearly in the original series, The Yada Yada Prayer Group and its six sequels.) But anyway, thanks for giving this new series a try, even though you might not continue with the second book, which is called "Come to the Table." Bless you and thanks!
