ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

In October 2007 Kregel Publications published The Other Daughter with excellent reviews. The Romantic Times Review magazine gave it Four out of Four and a half stars, with a very strong review. Two different major motion picture studios are currently considering the book as a possible family movie, and my second book in the series (Past Shadows) is on my publishers desk being reviewed for a possible contract offer now.

In February of 2009, Love Finds You in Last Chance, California was published by Summerside Press and Finding Jeena released in March 2010 from Kregel Publications.

Miralee Ferrell lives in Washington with Allen, her husband of more than 37 years, ans has two grown children. She serves on staff at her local church ans is actively involved in ministry to women.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Jeena Gregory thought she’d made it. She has everything a woman could ask for and a budding career promises more. But when rumors around town cast her boss in a shady light, Jeena starts to question her employer’s integrity. Was she wrong to trust this man and this job?

When the boss disappears, salaries go unpaid, and Jeena overhears several hush-hush phone calls, she realizes her carefully crafted world is crumbling. Shaken to the core at the threat of losing everything, Jeena is suddenly confronted with her prejudices?and with a God she had long forgotten.

MY REVIEW:

My first reaction to the character of Jeena was dislike. I found her to be extremely shallow and wasn’t sure I could endure an entire book focused on her. Fortunately I  continued to read and watched Jeena change as her world quickly fell apart – one piece at a time.

Finding Jeena is a realistic example of how quickly life as we know it can change. No matter who we are or how secure we think we are, the truth is that we are all just a breath away from finding ourselves on the street. Recent events have clearly proven that.

Jeena wanted it all – a great, well-paying job, a nice condo, a luxury car, designer clothes and shoes – basically everything money could buy. Even though the man she expected to marry had just walked out of her life, she believed that success in her new job would make up for it. Unfortunately, life didn’t turn out the way Jeena expected. Jeena’s new circumstances brought her to the end of herself and right where she needed to be.

A wonderful story of grace and redemption, Finding Jeena is a must read. I hope that there will be a follow-up to it soon.
