I appreciate that the author doesn't portray the lead character as a paragon of virtue (she gets angry, she loses her temper, she makes assumptions based on feelings). However, I was disappointed in how we only seemed to see a bit of the surface of the rehab house. That many people with that many problems and addictions would have made for a much more active place than what we saw in the book. Ah, and it bothered me that the only (as far as we know) gay character in the book was scheming and hateful. Debating whether to give the third book in the series a try...

Another book off my stash pile, and it was a good one. Brings a bit of a tear to the eye. I love Esmeralda, she reminds me of Dolly Parton in the movie Straight Talk, helping people with common sense. In the book it's about not just common sense but a God infused sense. Very good, moving and funny.

Very cute book. Loved the characters and wanted to know the rest of the story, so I requested the sequel from the library.

Wholesome story about faith.

My neighbor lent me this book and I thought it was appropriate to read because of the turkey on the cover. I thought it was predictable and a bit preachy. I resented the fact that an older Southern woman could make so many grammatical errors. I also did not like the fact that a gay woman was presented as the villain.

I didn't like this as much as the first, But Esmerelda still tickles me.
This book just romped to quickly and a little too predictably. What i really really loved about the first was seeing Jesus in a small town in peoples actual every day lives and setting this book in the Priscilla home felt like Church Camp where every one gets saved and sings Koomba ya while they are there but slips back once home. I missed her little buddy, can't think of her name Beatrice? They never resolved, percy potentate staying with the pastor, and i still don't know if i trust Usula, she flip flopped so much.
I always love to hear her sing her hymns though, and i love the twist that her WW were the catalyst to accept the job.
I'd read another, just cuz she's so darn cute and feisty!!

What I thought made this book so good

This book is really great! It has a plot that keeps you interested at all times. I think its really funny when Esmeralda refers to "Splurgeon" instead of Spurgeon. It has a really good happy ending and the characters are great. Her boss,who she's kinda made into her enemy turns out nice in the end. I highly suggest this book!

Very light-hearted...yet inspiring.

More Esmerelda, same road trip. Home spun, sometimes touching, sometimes humorous. Easy to laugh at myself when reading about Esmerelda's foibles.

Esmerelda, a feisty, Southern small-town widow becomes a housemother at a halfway house for female addicts and it changes her life.

Very likable book and series.

[Vivian · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was okay. Pretty much a fluff read, but it did make me laugh and I could just picture Esmeralda from the descriptive text.

[Lisa Morrow · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a sweet book! With a mish-mash cast of characters, this book was at times funny, at times poignant! Loved it!

Wonderful book about faith and friendship.
