Harriet Josephine Bisset—Harri—is a tattooed rebel, the preacher’s kid, the ultimate prodigal son come home again from the dark side past of cigarettes, sex and alcohol. But now she’s is back at her old church – First Grace. Totally clean and forgiven by her church and God, she cannot seem to forgive herself. She lives at the senior citizen mobile home park because it’s safe. There is a new preacher at First Grace since her parents are on the mission field, and Harri has been at odds with him since he took over, fighting mainly for the rights of the seniors and demanding things stay status quo with no changes, especially contemporary music! But changes must be made if First Grace is to survive. With all this you would think Harri was a senior citizen herself, but she’s only twenty-eight! Then to top it off the new pastor brings in a consultant to move First Grace into the present and beyond. Enter gorgeous, motorcycle riding, long haired, tattooed Maddox McCray: everything Harri has tried to leave behind. She tries to resist for fear the old Harri will rise again, but as everyone keeps reminding her—including Maddox—she is forgiven and needs to live again. But can she? An awesome read for teens and adults alike. Also included are discussion questions perfect for readers groups or Bible study groups, as this novel is an a fantastic teaching tool. This is author Tamara Leigh’s third Christian novel. This is chick-lit or God-lit at it’s finest. Leigh does an amazing job of allowing us into Harri’s life, not just giving us glimpses of her past but spelling it out and showing us God’s grace and His total forgiveness. She shows us we can forgive ourselves and begin a new life. Reviewer’s personal note from someone with a past like Harri’s: this has taught me how I must forgive myself too. I’m sure everyone has things in their past they struggle with as well, and this book will help you let go and let God! So grab a club sized container of Jelly Bellys and sit back and enjoy Splitting Harriet—you won’t regret it!! Publisher: Multnomah Buy it now from our affiliate Bookstore CrossPurposesBooks.com
