About This Book
What if you asked God to shake up your life and, when He did, you lost your friend, your marriage, and your faith? Susanna Jacobs longs for a change, but she can't put her desire into words. According to her friends, she has it all: a devoted, if workaholic, husband, a beautiful independent-minded daughter, a successful business. But something's missing. As Susanna struggles to find the missing piece, God dumps a thrown-away Bible into her lap. From the moment she touches the red cover, Susanna's intrigued by the name Joanne written inside the flyleaf. As she searches for this mystery woman to return the Bible to its rightful owner, Susanna travels down an increasingly dark and dangerous path. A Woman Like Me/A Mustard Seed begins the story of every 21st century woman, bridging the gap between contemporary realistic fiction and personal faith. Walk in the shoes of one of us for a year. Live and breathe in those 365 days threaded with smiles and tears, woven in strands of ordinary moments, life-changing opportunities, and gut-wrenching self-revelations. An excellent read for book clubs and Christian women's circles, A Mustard Seed is packed with intimate scenes from a slice-of-a-woman's-life we all share as sisters. It'll keep you hopeful and heart-broken with every page turn.
