Title: A Mile from Sunday

Author: Jo Kadlecek

Publisher: NavPress

ISBN: 1-60006-028-5

Genre: Inspirational/Mystery

 

Jonna Lightfoot McLaughlin, religion reporter for the Denver Dispatch receives a series of mysterious messages on her voicemail and she is immersed into a story that could change her future, or determine if she even has a future. Jonna chases clues all over town, and knows she’s on the heels of breaking a major news story.

 

Jonna is known for reporting the “good news” but through a series of events she sees the drastic contrast between good and evil. She looks for news and clues as she sorts through the generic potluck announcements. Perhaps her story is in the mysterious monks, or with the attractive community center director. She hopes upon hope that he really is as good as he seems.

 

You will find some of the typical chick-lit subjects (chocolate and bad hair days), but the subject line will take you to a deeper place. We see the human side of Jonna and perhaps end up seeing our own humanness as well.
