Review #51
“Sincerely, Mayla” is a great follow up to “Just As I Am”.
(See Review #41)
Mayla is back and she has been ‘laid off’ her job! Question time… Why didn’t she go to college right from high school? How is she going to find another job before her severance pay runs out? A friend refers her to a possible position and after an interview in wet, snow soaked clothes (from trying to rescue a pet rabbit off the road), Mayla decides to head to Florida to visit the aunt and grandmother that she has not seen in 13 years (due to her mother's decision to end life support for her father).
In this book you will find a dysfunctional family, a pastor who is the object of Mayla’s affections, a stubborn rabbit, a teenager in trouble, a gay friend with a different point of view on Christianity, and then there's Mayla…right in the middle of everything!
Who else but God can help Mayla deal with life and the various circumstances we often find ourselves in? She's a headstrong Christian with a good heart, bent on straightening out a few things in her life. She's not one to "let things go".
I have always believed the idea illustrated here…our lives touch and influence many other lives as we go on our merry way and, sometimes, we never know just how that will turn out!
Ginny Smith has become another of my favorite authors. I cannot wait to see Mayla in book three…coming out in May!
