Mind of Her Own Book Review

Title: Mind of Her Own

Author: Diana Lesire Brandmeyer

Genre: Christian, Fiction, Modern, Memory Loss, Marriage Problems.

Plot: Louisa Copeland is your average housewife with three children and a husband who somehow feels distant compared to the enchanting memories in her mind. While preparing dinner as usual, Louisa mulls over her marriage and decides to make a great meal as step one in her new plan to entice her husband to stay home more. But when {with the dog's help} Louisa takes a nasty spill and the George Foreman grill gives her a bump on the head, Louisa wakes up as Jazz Sweet the romance writer and can't figure out who this Louisa Copeland is or where she came from and why there are three hungry kids calling her "mom" and a handsome man who thinks he's her husband.

As Jazz/Louisa begins to piece together the mess of her life, she stumbles onto some long-buried memories that were better off in the dark and almost doesn't remember in time to save her daughter.

Likes/Dislikes: This year I've been trying to be very picky about the review books I request so I'll actually read them, but I still have one or two that will look great up until I get them and actually start reading them. Sadly, Mind of Her Own fell into the latter category. I started reading it three or four times and skipped around a lot in the story just to see if I'd be motivated to finish it, so I know what the big twist at the end is and while it's not something I like reading about, it was handled in a "Yay, go dad!!!" way that was very exciting. The writing is very upbeat and happy but I have the nagging feeling that Jazz/Louisa would probably whine and complain a lot as she tries to get her memory back. I could be wrong though. As a humorous side-note, when my husband and I were first married, we spent an evening pretending we had lost our memories {one at a time} to see how we'd handle such an event. He handled it way better than I did. *smiles* I like the book cover.

Rating: PG-17 and up, mainly for reading level and content {brief talk/memory/attempted child abuse scene, nothing graphic, just unexpected in a book like this}.
