Faster Than a Speeding Minivan, Able to Leap Piles of Laundry in a Single Bound...It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Supermom!
Becky Miller is a young mom who wants to do Big Things for God. Her vivid daydreams help her cope with the pressure to be a Wonderful Wife and Marvelous Mother. Yet the tape going through her mind continues to play:
Your mission: support your husband when he loses his job, nurture an eccentric circle of friends, raise perfect Christian children, cook delicious meals in a spotless kitchen, lead the women's ministry at church, and live a life filled with Meaning and Purpose.
How does this supermom react when her grand plans start to fall apart? What will it take for her to turn off the tape and listen to God's voice instead? |
 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:
THE SECRET LIFE OF BECKY MILLER is the most monotonous book I've read this year—sorry, Ms. Hinck. I like books that take me away into a land of adventure, romance, and tumultuous emotions. This story is all about poorly behaved children and washing machines on the fritz. In other words, it's like my life. I live it. I don't want to read about it. True, Becky Miller has this secret story going on in her head, but I never could get interested in it because it sounded like a Lara Croft adventure. So, pardon me, but I don't recommend this one.
