Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes by Robin Jones Gunn (AND GIVEAWAY)

***Leave a comment on this post before Monday June 15 at midnight to be entered for a chance to win a copy.***


About the book:

When a mammogram result comes back abnormal, midlife mama Summer Finley makes a snap decision to relegate fear to the back burner and fulfill a lifelong dream. Summer heads for Holland where she meets up with tulips, wooden shoes, and her best friend, Noelle.

Pen pals since fourth grade, Summer and Noelle have never met face-to-face. Through decades of heart-level correspondence, they have sustained a deep friendship. A week of adventure helps both women trade anxiety for a renewed and deeper trust in God. When Summer confides in Noelle about the abnormal medical report, Noelle finds the freedom to share a long-held heartache, and both women discover they needed each other more than they realized.

Women ages 35 and up, readers of Christian Boomer Lit, and fans of books such as The Yada Yada Prayer Group will enjoy Robin Jones Gunn’s humorous and uplifting style. True-to-life characters and moments of poignancy bring a deeper understanding of the value of life and the gift of true friends. Readers guide and bonus material included.

My Review:
I have read the entire Sisterchicks series and loved them although this one is not one of my favorites. My personal favorite is probably Sisterchicks in Sombreros. I am 26 so I am not really in the target group although I have always enjoyed the books. I could not really relate to the current book but I think a lot of women will love it.
