(More customer reviews)This Christian Chick-Lit book is very true-to-life; Essie faces the very real stressors related to marriage, a baby, and (my greatest fear!) teaching Sunday School. Her struggle to make a decision regarding going back to work is one that is familiar to me, as are her struggles with a newborn baby and finances.
I especially enjoyed this book because it is realistic and does NOT give the impression that "living a Christian life makes everything 'perfect.'" Essie faces the struggles we all do, and with Christ as her foundation, gets through them--not easily or magically, but she gets through.
Another book by Allie Pleiter, "Bad Heiress Day" is on my bedside table and I'm excited to start it!

Teaching Sunday school at her brother's church in the Bay area was supposed to help former champion athlete Esther "Essie" Walker understand boys -- the better to raise her newborn son as a stellar example of manhood. Fat chance! Enter the eight-year-old male psyche: awful jokes, disrespectful behavior and general mayhem. Essie, the queen of control, finds herself in a brand-new world of chaos.The pressure builds on all fronts -- Sunday school class, husband's job search, church dramatic pageant, aging parents, finances -- until Queen Esther has one royal meltdown. God, it seems, has makeover plans for Essie's competitive nature. Her characteristic control is in very short supply as she gains a better understanding of the nature of imperfection, the value of motherhood and the virtues of a messy but connected life.
