4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, December 18, 2008

By	Dawn Kinzer (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just like in real life, the family in Out of Her Hands is comprised of imperfect people. They disagree, disappoint, and frustrate the other members. But they also love each other.

I related to the main character on so many levels. What woman doesn't have visions of the mate their child will choose? And like Linda, don't we all at one time or another want to be able to control what's going on in our lives, and the lives of those we love? We forget there's someone else in control who can do a much better job than we can.

The novel is laced with entertaining humor. But Megan also provides her readers with substance. Out of Her Hands is a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars RIGHT ON TIME, November 27, 2008

By	K. Harris (Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm best friends with Linda Revere. Wait...that's not right. I AM Linda. No, that's not right either. Hmmm. Actually, Linda is the main character in Megan DiMaria's latest book, and I'm confused because Linda seems so real. She has a fast-paced job and family life. She's full of faith and doubt--simultaneously. She turns things over to God (and then takes them back again).

In this book, the second in a series, Linda discovers that control is fleeting. Her son begins dating a less-than-perfect girl, her widowed father-in-law finds new love, and her best friend (not me) is moving away. Nothing is as it should be. Or so it seems.

But Linda soon learns that life, while imperfect, is out of her hands--and right on time. There is, indeed, a time for all seasons. We might as well relax and enjoy. Even though much in life is out of our hands, there is much to anticipate and be thankful for. Thanks to Megan DiMaria for illustrating it so well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit!, October 31, 2008

By	Judy Grivas "so many books...so little time" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Out of Her Hands is a wonderful read written by Megan DiMaria. We are back with the Revere family, and Linda learns that just when she thinks the hardest part of parenting is behind her she and her husband are about to learn otherwise. Although Out of Her Hands is a work of fiction, as I read this book a truth resonated within my spirit and confirmed something that I'm still learning: God always has lessons for us to learn if our ears are open to hear and receive His wisdom.
