Meet Harriet Bisset.. prodigal daughter of a preacher and lover of Jelly Bellys. She also happens to be the director of womens ministries at the church where her father was the former pastor, and shes doing her best to keep things from changing too much. Who needs a contemporary worship service when youve got a beautiful organ and an organist thats been faithful to play it for 30 years? Unfortunately for Harri, the church board members have hired a consultant to bring the church into the 21st century.
When consultant Maddox McCray arrives, Harri doesnt care for him one bit. But when he starts revitalizing the womens ministry activities, Harri has to admit that maybe he has a clue about what hes doing. Oh, and how she doesnt want to have feelings for him, but thats easier said than done.
This book was so enjoyable, and right up my alley. I loved the occasional touches of humor, and the depth of Harri's character. She tries so hard to please God, and to keep herself above reproach, because Lord knows, she's already had enough of that in her life. Mix Harri's character with all the struggles going on at her church, and you've got a great book that really makes you think. Being a former PK myself, it's not an option to be away from prying eyes and gossip circulating about you and your family. Tamara Leigh did an excellent job of revealing Harri's conflicting emotions about what Harri would prefer to see happen versus what was best for the church as a whole.
