Barefoot in December

Suspense. Romance. Real, crazy life. "Alibi means elsewhere in Latin. Even though I'm going to be exactly where I said I would be, I'm not going for the same reasons anymore. I mash the gas pedal, anxious to be on the University commons, anxious to stamp out the guilt I am feeling..." Deenie Wilson's life is out of control; she just doesn't know it. The chaos of life and the adjustment to having three children causes her to drift away from her husband. She misses romance, but she'd rather sleep. She misses work life, but feels guilty about it. When an unexpected opportunity arrives, she teeters on the edge of an affair and when a criminal comes close to home, she realizes that her identity cannot be in her roles as a wife or mother, but only as a child of God. From Deena's grocery lists to her hilarious blog, from her candid thought life to her girlfriend tribe and controlling mother, this book is a laugh-out-loud, thoughtful look at all it means to be a wife, mother, friend & daughter. "This book is I Don't Know How She Does It, with a twist of mystery and faith. I loved it " Vicki Hampton
