Judy Baer was born and grew up on a farm on the prairies of North Dakota, USA. An only child, she spent most of her days with imaginary people-either those she read about or those she made up in her head. Her most ambitious conjuring did not succeed, however. She kept a clean stall with hay and oats for the horse she imagined would come but unfortunately, it never did. As an adult, however, she managed to make that dream come true and raised foundation quarter horses and buffalo for some years. A voracious reader, Judy learned to read with comic books, anything from Little Lulu and Superman to the Rawhide Kid. She sold her first story for $10.00 to a farm magazine. She still has the $10.00.
She graduated from Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota with a major in English and education and a minor in religion. At the time, she was simply studying what interested her, but now realizes that she was educating herself for her future career as an inspirational christian romance writer.
Judy wanted to write for Harlequin even in high school but it wasn't until her youngest child learned to say "No" that she realized that she'd better consider a second career to fall back on when mothering was done. Her first book was written with her little girl on her lap. Judy would type a few words, say "Now, Jennifer," at which time her daughter would hit the space bar before Judy continued typing. It wasn't the fastest way to work, but it offered a lot of mother-daughter time together. An over-achiever, she's written 71 books for various publishers. The mother of two and step-mother of three, she now has lots of family to enjoy.
In 2001, she went back to school and became a certified professional life coach. Currently she is working on her Master's in Human Development in the areas of writing, coaching and spirituality and writing inspirational Chick Lit which, she says, is the most fun she's ever had writing.

This is a pretty nice series about a group of female friends who are finding their way in life. If I could give it 3 and a half instead of four I would... The book is a little better than a "light read", kind of like comfort food, good and wholesome and hearty, but not the most exciting or flavorful read you've ever had. The characters are good and hold up, as do their friendships, and the problems they face are ones that are common to life, and they manage to make strides in their spiritual life along the way. That's pretty darn good.

So if I hadn't been moving I might have finished this one but I felt like the preaching got in the way of the story. I'm glad people are christian and have strong beliefs but I read a book to be in a story not to be preached at so much so that the story no longer exists.

June 9, 2013I don't feel like I can judge how many stars this book is because I had to stop at page 19.
I asked my son at the library to randomly pick a book for me, and he closed his eyes and picked that one.
The writing seems to be just fine but it's just too christian for my taste.
