Age before Beauty

Book #10: Age before Beauty (Author: Virginia Smith)

Allie Harrod is ready for a new career. She doesn’t want to go back to full-time work and risk missing her baby’s first smile. But she does want to contribute to the family income, and a home-based business seems like the perfect solution. sure, she dropped out of Girl Scouts because she was lousy at cookies sales, but selling makeup is different, right?

Still, the challenges Allie faces seem to be rising as fast as her credit card balance. None of her clothes fit, her mother-in-law is driving her batty, and her husband only leaves the couch to go help his beautiful--and single--coworker with her home repairs. What’s a working girl to do?

My Thoughts:  Oh, I’m so glad I decided to continue with the Sister-to-Sister series! Virginia Smith has a way of capturing you and making you feel as if you’re a part of her characters worlds...and she always leaves you wanting more (I can tell already that I will be upset when this series comes to an end). I love how she involves spirituality in her books and demonstrates positive ways to handle particular situations. This book didn’t take me long to finish and I immediately started the next one in the series (report coming soon). It’s just fun, easy reading that touches on real-life issues....a fictional world while I’m escaping my own reality. But hey, sometimes we just need a break! Definitely a must read!
