Leanna Ellis. Nashville: B & H Publishing Group, 2010. 320 pp. (Paperback).
When Marla, Kaye Redmond’s hypercritical ex-mother-in-law, experiences a botched facelift, she has nowhere to go while she recuperates except Kaye’s house. In return for her reluctant hospitality, Kaye is forced to deal not only with the constant barbs from Marla, but also an angry teenage daughter, Marla’s suitors and a client who is much too appealing for a woman who is trying hard to win back her ex-husband.
“Facelift” is a light and fluffy “chick lit” book with serious undertones. Through Kate’s misadventures come some soul-searching and grasping for answers to difficult questions as the main character seeks to follow God’s will for her life — if she can only figure out what it is.
A relative newcomer to Christian writing, Leanna Ellis has an established career in secular romance writing behind her, with more than a million books sold under the name of Leanna Wilson.
