Just Between You and Me: A Novel of Losing Fear and Finding God

Just Between You and Me: A Novel of Losing Fear and Finding God by Jenny B. Jones

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Successful cinematographer Maggie Montgomery has to learn to face her fears when she is called back to her dreaded hometown for a family crisis.

I'm still a little torn about Christian fiction and this one was a bit cheesy for me. Prayer and testimony are such personal, sacred things that reading a fictional account of it makes me squirm a little.

Just Between You and Me is a predictable, been-done-before plot that I still enjoyed reading.
