This second adventure of the MAMs is a fast-moving story with a carefully crafted plot and many strong characters you won’t soon forget. It is a page turner saga full of hope, inspiration, adventure, and romance. The characters struggle with many issues that abound in our present society. Lots to think about and enjoy.

This was a spectacular story about the strength of women and the love of God that brings them through their trials. The uniqueness that Nancy uses of poetry in her novel, is one that I thoroughly enjoyed. A must read!
Laura Henry
Author of Starlight on Snowfall
“This novel packs in a lot of thought-provoking material about some of the most important issues of our time: domestic violence, alcoholism, flaws in criminal justice, climate change, and more. These themes are illuminated through an engrossing story that focuses primarily on two characters: Molly, a woman struggling to stay involved in life as she deals with breast cancer, and Thomaseena, who is discovering her voice as a poet and prophet in the wake of abuse and unjust imprisonment. These women interact with a wide cast of characters, including Molly’s book club whose members start an organic farm for women ex-offenders, the residents of the farm struggling to put their lives back together, captains of industry, and assorted other family members, friends, and acquaintances. The writing is easy to follow and well worth the effort.”
