Another excellent book in a great series. Besides being great reading, this book was very informative and eye opening on the personal lives of persons living in shelters.

Another of Neta Jackson's wonderful tales of trusting in God. All her books inspire me to seek God more and more. This book was no exception. I found myself laughing and crying along with the characters in the book. A real page turner. I can't wait for the next volume in this series.

Better than the first House of Hope book....more like the original Yada Yada books. A great read!

I looked forward to this one for months, and Neta did not disappoint. Gabby is still a likeable, engaging character with realistic problems and a realistic faith--two things sadly lacking in the work of some Christian authors. The shelter women are a wonderful, eclectic group of "mismatched socks" that are a perfect, soul-feeding family for Gabby. Their treatment of "Gramma Shep" as a surrogate grandmother is especially touching. I also loved the development of Gabby's relationships with Jodi Baxter and Lee Boyer, as well as the lessons those relationships taught her about waiting for, and depending on, God. The last lines of the book leave you wanting more, and I will be snatching up Who Do I Lean On ASAP. Wonderful work, Neta!

I just read this novel!! I would have finished the whole thing in one setting if I didn't make myself stop and do the necessary things that needed to be done. It is real life with it's ups and downs, with a touch of miracle working God happenings. Enjoy.

Once again Neta Jackson gets to the heart of the matter that anyone one of us is a heart away from experiencing homelessness. The Yada Yada series continues to convict and teach me more of compassion and grace.
