Monday Morning Joy
by Tia McCollors was my first read by her.
What a good one it was too. I
thoroughly enjoyed reading about a famous baseball player who comes back home
due to a shoulder injury looking for something more in his life. Malachi Burke is tired of his fast lifestyle
and of being a playboy. So he comes back
home to open a baseball camp for a few weekends in the summer. Here in the bosom of his family, especially
his grandmother, he finds the rest and solitude he needs. He also realizes that his life is empty
without the faith he had been taught when he was young. So like the prodigal son he returns to his
senses.
We also meet writer Rae Stevens who is still nursing a
broken heart over her break up with her fiancé, a popular local sports
caster. Trying to move on and promising
herself not to fall for another famous guy, she is given a newspaper assignment
to interview Malachi. What transpires is
two people getting to know each other and learning to let go of the past for a
possible more joyful future.
This story is filled with family drama, close friendships,
and a touch of humor that made for a read that was hard to put down. This is the third and the first one I have
read in this series and I look forward to reading more of Ms. McCollors
books. I received a copy of this book
for an honest review from The Book Club Network, Inc. and the opinions are my
own.
