My Thoughts: This book was a fun and enlightening read. I always feel like the teenage-early adult years of my childrens' lives are so far away, but in reality, I know it will pass so quickly. I really appreciated Linda's point of view as a mother of older children. I could really relate to her concern and love for her children.
I also appreciated the way she turned to her faith and over and over again. She realized when her negative thoughts or behaviors were wrong. She placed it all in God's hands once she recognized it was clearly out of her own. And she reaped the benefits of this action.

"No sophomore slump for DiMaria! This novel (Out of Her Hands) is as engaging and meaningful as her first, Searching for Spice. Her realistic portrayal of the characters' lives should endear them to readers and help Christians to feel less alone in their daily trials."
