From the Back Cover
New job. New townhouse. New car. The perfect new life Right?
Jeena Gregory thought she'd made it. She has everything a woman could ask for and a budding career promises more. But when rumors around town cast her boss in a shady light, Jeena starts to question her employer's integrity. Was she wrong to trust this man and this job?
When the boss disappears, salaries go unpaid, and Jeena witnesses several hush-hush phone calls, she realizes her carefully crafted world is crumbling. Shaken to the core at the threat of losing everything, Jenna is suddenly confronted with her prejudices--and with a God she had long forgotten.

Finding Jeena,
This review is from: Finding Jeena: A Novel (Paperback)
I don't even know where to start with this book. I'm at a loss for words. Finding Jeena is an absolutely amazing story of grace, forgiveness, and redemption. I love stories about redemption, I always have, but Jeena's story is different. It is more real and much more profound that others I have read. It is amazing how quickly life can change and how little control we really have over our lives. Jeena had a lot to learn and God taught her what she needed to know in order to start over.
There were some parts of this book when I felt tremendous compassion for Jeena and other times I was so frustrated by her I wanted to shake her. I think there is a little Jeena in all of us, which is why this book will have such a strong impact on anyone who reads it. I also loved the strong cast of supporting characters in this book. They all added unique insight into Jeena's life and her redemption. Now, I did find that this book wrapped up a bit too tidy, but that is the way God works, so I that did not affect my feelings about this absolutely amazing story. God is perfect and his timing is perfect and this book shows us that. This book made me examine my faith and my view of other people. I also saw some of my judgments of others in Jeena, so I learned a great deal about myself while reading this book. Overall, Finding Jeena is a fantastic book. Well, fantastic is not a big enough word for how I feel about this book. I loved every moment of it and I love the feeling it has left in my heart after finishing it.

"Could Happen To You" novel,
By
This review is from: Finding Jeena: A Novel (Paperback)
A gripping, "very well could be true" story; thought provoking and enjoyable. As I walked through Jeena's problems with her I found myself thinking, "Wow! I never really thought of that possibility...".. but it gave a real opportunity to put myself in a place I would never have imagined. It also gave me a perspective on my blessings, unearned and sometimes unappreciated, and a new meaning to the old saying, "There, but for the Grace of God, go I." This is not a romance, not a mystery, not historical---just good good reading.

Story of our Times,
By
This review is from: Finding Jeena: A Novel (Paperback)
I had read and enjoyed The Other Daughter and looked forward to getting the review copy of Finding Jeena and to learn more about Jeena's story. Jeena Gregory is a woman on a mission to be successful at what she does and live the good life. Jeena lands a job that's almost too good to be true. Her new job with 'Browning and Thayer' promised big things, and she intended to explore all her opportunities. She'd start her new life with a few new clothes, new townhouse, new car, and new furniture to start with. Jeena heard talk in the office that put a hole in her perfect job, and put her new boss in an unfavorable light, but she sets aside her uncomfortable feelings...she wanted to keep this job, her bosses principles weren't her concern.
Soon, Jeena's world turns upside-down. She doesn't get paid, she hears money is missing from the company and the investors are making trouble. Then her boss vanishes leaving his partners to take the fall, along with anyone else associated with the company. She's only been with them three months. How could they go after her? She'd soon find out. With no money coming in and no way to pay her bills or eat Jeena looks at life in a whole new light, seeking ways to survive. Jeena starts to see the world around her with new eyes. Miralee captures the essence of our society today. People are out of work unexpectedly. These are people who have worked hard all of their lives, they've had good jobs for a long time, and they live in nice homes and have a pretty good savings. It's staggering when they find themselves in food lines and no place to live! How did their lives end up like this? They have just become one of "those" people, the ones they used to judge! Miralee captures the readers' heart through her believable characters and gives hope in what seems to be a hopeless situation! God can do more than we can even imagine through us, if we let Him be in the driver's seat of our lives. Jeena realized all to well that people are far more complex, God loved us all, right were we are at and His ways are definitely not our ways. There is a battle for the heart and soul of people. God gives us all a choice of who we will serve. This book will touch your heart and lifel. Miralee shows Jesus is alive and well and moving in the lives of those who let Him. He can move in our life, love us and fill the hole in our heart like nothing else will. Will you give Him the driver's seat of your life? It's a question Miralee's character face. Thanks Miralee for this hopeful story and a look at situations we don't normally talk about! Nora St.Laurent The Book Club Network [...] Finding Hope Through Fiction [...]
