Title: Mother of Prevention Author: Lori Copeland Publisher: Steeple Hill ISBN: 0-373-78536-4 Genre: Inspirational/Mom’s Lit
Getting faith right when life goes wrong. That was the problem Kate Madison suddenly faced. One minute she is living the good life with a husband and two daughters in Oklahoma City, the next her life is ripped apart when her fire-fighter husband is killed on the job. Not only does Kate have to struggle with her grief, she also battles a multitude of fears and the prospect of bringing up her daughters on her own. Things only get worse when she is told she should no long fly, and crucial part of the job she loves. Desperate times bring desperate measures. Kate uproots her family and moves to San Francisco for a fresh start. It’s not long before she makes a friend of her bubbling neighbor, Mazi. But things don’t go as well as she had hoped and she soon realizes she’s left one important thing out of her newly calculated life. Mother of Prevention is a moving story of a young mother’s walk through grief. The only disappointment I had was the fact that the back cover copy didn’t entirely match the contents of the book. One element mentioned never eventuated in the storyline and left me disappointed. Not being a great reader of either first person narrative or Mom’s lit, it took me a while to get into the book, but if you’re looking for a light read with a well threaded theme of the importance of faith, then you should enjoy this story.
