About the author
Terri Blackstock
97 books5,892 followersTerri Blackstock is a New York Times best-seller, with over seven million books sold worldwide.. She has had over thirty years of success as a novelist.
Terri spent the first twelve years of her life traveling in a U.S. Air Force family. She lived in nine states and attended the first four years of school in The Netherlands. Because she was a perpetual “new kid,” her imagination became her closest friend. That, she believes, was the biggest factor in her becoming a novelist. She sold her first novel at the age of twenty-five, and has had a successful career ever since.
In 1994 Terri was writing romance novels under two pseudonyms for publishers such as HarperCollins, Harlequin, Dell and Silhouette, when a spiritual awakening prompted her to switch gears. At the time, she was reading more suspense than romance, and felt drawn to write thrillers about ordinary people in grave danger. Her newly awakened faith wove its way into the tapestry of her suspense novels, offering hope instead of despair. Her goal is to entertain with page-turning plots, while challenging her readers to think and grow. She hopes to remind them that they’re valued by God and that their trials have a purpose.

I’m more of a suspense novel person but this was a good romance, heartwarming Christian story.

3.5 stars for me. I'm not usually the biggest fan of novellas, I find they are often too short for me to connect with the characters and don't feel they are long enough to tell a story well. This was an exception I really enjoyed these stories. They were simple but all the characters had personality and the stories were told well. The third story written by McCollum was my favourite.

This book has three stories in one by three different authors. The first book, For Love of Money, ended up being corny. The story started out fine but as it went, I ended up not like the main male character and was annoyed by the female one. I get the concept and message but too much preaching that sounded too unrealistic.
The second story, The Trouble with Tommy, was a bit better but again, too preachy. Also, it seemed like the romance budded without any interaction between the characters. I don't mean sexual interaction, just plain communication and socializing. It was a good story but the Christianity too shoved into the story.
The last story, What She's been Missing, was the best of the three. It had me laughing and more interested into the happenings. The Christianity aspect was nicely put in without making corny, it was fun and meaningful. This story was more enlightening and alive.

I only read this because of Elizabeth White's portion, "The Trouble with Tommy." It was a very cute story that included characters from her other books, so I wanted to learn their background. The other stories were okay, but a little random and sappy.

As much as I love Terri Blackstock, I was disappointed with this short. It was too predictable for my taste.
