Synopsis

Gabby expects a fight from her husband over custody of their boys, but she's taken aback when he leans on her for a loan to cover his gambling debts. When she turns him down, Philip makes a desperate move that puts Gabby, her friends in the shelter, and even the House of Hope at risk.

The props Gabby usually leans on -- Jodi, her Yada Yada prayer partner; her friend Harry, the ex-cop; and Lee, her lawyer, who has fallen in love with Gabby -- are not there when she needs them most. Gabby must make a decision that could change the course of her life. How will she know if it's for the better or worse?

About this title

About the Author

Neta Jackson's award-winning Yada books have sold more than 500,000 copies and are spawning prayer groups across the country.

They live in the Chicago area, where the Yada stories are set.

From Booklist

In the fast-paced third installment in Jackson’s House of Hope series, just as Gabby Fairbanks thinks she is finally getting her life in order, new challenges to her faith and her future arise. Her mother’s insurance payout will allow her a degree of financial security, and she is determined to go ahead with plans to purchase the building where she currently rents and make it available to Manna House residents, homeless women, for transitional shelter. But her husband, deep in debt from his gambling, seemingly wants her back, while Lee, her legal aid attorney, wants to escalate their friendship to the next level. Jackson uses the Chicago setting to good effect in building on previous titles from this and her Yada Yada Prayer Group series, offering an unblinkered Christian perspective on family, friendship, and personal obligations while allowing the reader to vicariously experience the remarkable range of experiences shared by those living in shelters, with not so much as a closet to call their own. --Lynne Welch
