Derailed by Neta Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am familiar with Neta Jacksons’ Yada Yada Prayer Club books and love them. This book, told from one of the Prayer Club’s husband’s was just as good.
These books take place in Rogers Park in Chicago, the neighborhood where I grew up. Every time I read one, I feel like I’m going home as I can picture the setting so well.
This story is about Henry and Estelle. They are newly married and having their grandson living with them. DaShawn’s dad is in jail but is released and comes to stay with them as they are just moving into a new Brownstone. Henry goes back to work as a detective with Amtrack and is assigned to the K9 unit with his partner, Corky. Corky is an awesome dog character, a spunky, smart black lab.
The story is wonderful and watching the faith of the characters grow, heartwarming. I highly recommend this book and Neta Jackson’s other books if you haven’t read them! 🙂
