I don't ever read books with Christian themes; they tend to get a bit preachy for this non-Christian. However, the Christianity of Samson's characters is so skillfully interwoven with their personalities that it's easy to "forgive" the preaching.

I appreciate faith, and the fact that her characters are so deeply flawed and not harp playing angels makes their faith and application of that faith a very lovely read.

It's nice to read about people overcoming their hamartia, it lends such hope to the rest of us. What Samson portrayed was a God who uses all things to his own ends, the fire, the lies, all of it, and that Romans 8:28 is a universal truth.

Aside from Lark making me want to slap her for being so backwards (she made me nervous and I wondered how she could be such a good Christian if she didn't even trust her God to take care of her when she left the house.)...LOL I truly enjoyed this book and will buy it for my mother who loves books with Christian themes.

Reading a Lisa Samson book is like diving into a refreshing literary river--clear, clean prose that carries you along in waters delightful and deep, funny and profound. Women's Intuition is no exception. I am not usually a "women's fiction" reader, but I read Samson because I love good writing, and find she transcends the same old-same old. Join the delight. Discover Lisa Samson for yourself.

Lisa Samson has succesfully created a work of fiction that will touch every facet of your life. She weaves a tale with love, laughter, fear, and joy that anyone would love to wrap themselves up in. Brew a pot of coffee and enter Lark Summerville's complicated life. You won't want to go back home.

This book came recommended by a good friend, one who knows I don't usually like books with "Christian" themes. However, Women's Intuition quickly won me over. It's an awesome read--I loved it and was sad to finish the book. The characters are quirky, funny, honest and compelling. They struggle with fear and with how to have faith in the midst of painful circumstances. The writing is lively and reminds me of Elizabeth Berg or Anne Lamott. I've already recommended this book to three of my friends! Lisa Samson is an up and coming author and I can't wait to read her next book.

I have to confess - I am a male reader. But this title and its cover captured my attention. Then I opened the book and the pages came alive. The characters are rich - you will love Larkspur and Flannery and family. A wonderful reminder of community. And its final chapter is from the male perspective. Bravo Lisa!
The author is a spunky person. She writes from the depth of her heart and while settling on the "stuff of life" provides the reader with warmth and wit at the same time.

Thank you Ms. Samson!

I loved Lisa Samson's wonderfully flawed human beings. They are well rounded and interesting people with problems and hang ups, just like I have. It gave me hope. If they can hang in there, so can I!

I have been A Lisa Samson fan for along time now. But i have to say that this book is the best she's ever written. I read it almost every year Its just that good.it will have you laughing out loud and crying right along with the charactors in the story the person in the story is LARK Summerville who grew up in a very well to do neighberhood with a very Sofistcated parents. when lark is old enough she moves out as soon as possible. and starts her own prayerline
and raises her daughter on own after her boy friend leaves her.she tries to run from her past but it has boomarang affect on her when her home is damaged by fire. this takes her back to living with her mom in her pristine home.
when all she wanted to do was leave her scolite past behind her.
