I thought this book would promote good values but again was wrong. In spite of its title, the prayer group does not play a major - or even minor - role in the story but is simply tacked on in a couple of scenes. The frenetic pace is confusing, and clipped conversations with a huge cast of characters grow tiresome quickly. Author Neta Jackson gives little or no information about what has occurred beforehand and how it relates to the current story.
Most authors will give enough background information so a new reader can understand some of what happened in previous stories, but that is not the case here.
This is the seventh and final book in the Yada Yada series and unfortunately will not stand on its own. With the added burden of a sudden wedding, Jodi needs prayer more than ever. This is especially hard since it is now Christmastime. In the meantime, Jodi is mugged and sprains her ankle as a result of a fall on ice and has to take it easy. Jodi’s son Josh and his fiancée, Edessa, want to adopt Gracie and speed up their wedding in order to qualify as a couple. Drinking and doing drugs, she finally winds up dead. Carmelita immediately begins to disappear on a regular basis for hours, sometimes days at a time. Outside, a chance encounter with a young woman named Carmelita and her baby Gracie puts the new women’s shelter into action. Manna House has just been rebuilt after a fire, and everyone is there to celebrate its re-opening.
