    This review was written for On Hummingbird Wings.
    I enjoyed this book so much! Lauraine Snelling is one of my favorite authors. This is about 31 yr old Gillian, a New York Exec working 70 hour weeks, rarely taking a day off. Her plan is to retire at age 52. Getting a call from her sister about their dying hyprchrondriac mother changes her life drastically. She arranges to take two days off and flites out to CA. Not having a key to the house and no answer to the doorbell she grabs a brick and breaks a window only to be caught by a good looking neighbor walking his dog.

    Gillian is a take charge kind of woman, she takes no nonsense from her mother and insists she eat, shower, get out of bed, etc. Before you know it her mother leaves on a cruise with a good family friend and unexpected things happen. I found this to be such an enjoyable book, loved Gillian's character and the way her life turns out. 5 out of 5 stars!

    I received a copy of this book free from Christian Review of Books in exchange for an honest review.

    This review was written for On Hummingbird Wings.
    It has been quite a while since I have read anything by Jauraine Snelling, but the cover of her newest book captured my attention, watching hummingbirds is one of my favorite summertime passtimes. So I chose this book based on its cover, and wasn't dissapointed.

    Allie and Gillian are sisters who are totally different or so it seems. While Allison always seemed to be the favored sister, she married had a family and stayed in California, close to home and has been helping her mother. Gillian on the other hand left home, moving to New York were she became a corperate executive. Its been five years since Gillian has been home, a fact that Allie quickly reminds her of, when she makes a call pleading for help with their mother, who has taken to her bed and refuses to eat. Gillian is annoyed at first with the intrusion into her day, but starts toying with the idea of going home, and in a move that even surprises herself, she tells her boss she is going out of town on a family emergency.What was supposed to be a weekend stay turns into something else, when she is told that her company has been bought out and she is out of a job. Will she return to New York, or will she realize that what she really wants is in California.

    I enjoyed this one. It really looks at the relationship between the two sisters, while Allie seems to have the perfect life, perfect husband, home and children, she isn't really content. The relationship between the two sisters seems very realistic, with each one believing that the other one was the mothers favorite. When Gillian comes home and finds everything a mess, it was easy to see that Allie had been overwhelmed with the responsibility of being her mothers caregiver while trying to do everything for her family.

    The sweet relationship that develops between Gillian and the next door neighbor Adam was nice, and Thor and Winnie the two canines in the story were a great addition.

    This was a smooth easy read, but not something that kept me turning the pages, for me it was a relaxing read, something I could put down and pick up again. While I didn't love the story I really liked it.Fans of contemporary christian fiction that deal with family issues should definatly give this one a look.

    I was provided a complimentary copy of this book (thanks Sarah) in exchange for an honest review.
