Books #10






This book was  fun one!  The author is a local girl here in Spring Hill so it always makes it more fun to read.

She moved to Sandwich, Illinois, in search of a new life, but ended up in a giant pickle.

Sandwich represents hope for twenty-year-old Maddie Buckner and Kyle, the eleven-year-old brother Maddie wants to spring out of foster care. Then she loses her new job after less than a day. It’s all Reuben-the-Jerk’s fault, and she’s determined to make him right the wrong.  

He does so, reluctantly, by giving her a job at his restaurant, The Sandwich Emporium. Then crazy things start happening at the restaurant, and Kyle’s foster parents apply to adopt him. To stop it all, Maddie must learn the art of humbling herself and accepting the help God has arranged, risking her heart to Reuben in the process. 

And she’d rather eat a million corned-beef on rye sandwiches than do that.

We picked out a new book for Book Club, but I'm feeling a strong need to instead start on another one beside my bed, Moms Ultimate Guide to the Tween Girl World, although a certain someone assures me she has moved on from being a Tween and is now a full blown teenager. Hhm...
