Nice quick read...

Hatteras Girl was my first encounter with author Alice J. Wisler. The story centers on Jackiean almost thirty year old single woman who is trying to attain her dreams in life. Jackie lives with her childhood friend, Minnie, and helps her raise her son while they both dream of owning a bed and breakfast one day. In the mean time Jackie is busy working as a writer for a magazine and waiting for Mr. Right. Jackie has plenty of help looking for the right man as all her relatives try to set her up with eligible bachelors.

I found the book to be very well written and it held my interest as I watched Jackies story unfold. I appreciated that the Christian characters acted and talked like Christians without being sappy or unbelievable. The descriptions were great and the blind dates were funny. While touching on sad events in the lives of the characters, the book did not strike me as depressinginstead I was encouraged and uplifted by the way the people got through their difficulties. I loved the ending.

This book did exactly what I expect from a good book: it was an easy read, had enough plot twists to keep me interested, and made me think about how God works in my own life during the difficult times, as well as encouraging me to look for His blessings along the way.

Bethany House Publishing graciously provided me with a copy of this book but I was in no way instructed on how to write my review-my opinions are mine.
