Kate Madison always thought that bad things happen to other people. But then her life is struck by personal tragedy. Left widowed at 32, when her husband is killed in an on-the-job accident, Kate suddenly finds herself worrying about everything. Once the initial shock has worn off and Kate tries to get on with life, her fears stop her at every turn. A cosmetologist who flies twice a week to teach classes, Kate fears what will happen to her children should her plane go down. Kate's job requires her to relocate to San Francisco, and when she travels there to search for a house, the city is hit with a tremor; Kate suddenly remembers that California is known for earthquakes. Kate's fears are increasingly controlling her life, and she fears not only what they are doing to her but that she will pass on these same fears to her children. Desperate and in need of guidance, Kate prays for God's help, and hears the voice she has heard so many times before: When have I ever left you alone?

Getting faith right when life goes wrong.,
By Illuminating Fiction "Book Reviewer - http://... (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mother of Prevention (Life, Faith & Getting It Right #4) (Steeple Hill Cafe) (Paperback)
That was the problem Kate Madison suddenly faced. One minute she is living the good life with a husband and two daughters in Oklahoma City, the next her life is ripped apart when her fire-fighter husband is killed on the job.
Not only does Kate have to struggle with her grief, she also battles a multitude of fears and the prospect of bringing up her daughters on her own. Things only get worse when she is told she should no long fly, and crucial part of the job she loves. Desperate times bring desperate measures. Kate uproots her family and moves to San Francisco for a fresh start. It's not long before she makes a friend of her bubbling neighbor, Mazi. But things don't go as well as she had hoped and she soon realizes she's left one important thing out of her newly calculated life. Mother of Prevention is a moving story of a young mother's walk through grief. The only disappointment I had was the fact that the back cover copy didn't entirely match the contents of the book. One element mentioned never eventuated in the storyline and left me disappointed. Not being a great reader of either first person narrative or Mom's lit, it took me a while to get into the book, but if you're looking for a light read with a well threaded theme of the importance of faith, then you should enjoy this story.

Boring,

This review is from: Mother of Prevention (Life, Faith & Getting It Right #4) (Steeple Hill Cafe) (Paperback)
I bought this book because it looked like a good chick lit read.
The basic premise is that a 30-something with two young perfect, perfect daughters has a happy, happy life until her wonderful and perfect husband has the nerve to die in a fire (he is a firefighter). While I am overdoing it on the description, this book had the feel of overkill in almost every aspect of the storyline. Once our main character realizes that her husband has died, she decides to move her family to San Francisco (from Oklahoma). She hasn't been there two minutes and yet insists on buying a home. She of course, finds the "perfect" home but can't afford it - in rides the perfect real estate agent who finds her a loving home. However,surprisingly not all is on the up and up as she will soon find out. (This turns out to be the only twist in this predictable story). Even her relationship with the next door neighboor (female) felt tedious to me. Our main character "uses" the neighbors loneliness and makes her an instant babysitter to two somewhat annoying and quite bratty kids. This book was meant to be written as a heartwarming story of a suddenly single mother who needs to venture forth. But it comes off as making the main character selfish and the whole storyline boring. This is definitely NOT chick lit material. It should be considered more as general fiction. Even reading my review of this book bores me. This is just basically too boring for more words - so I will stop.
