But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
(Ed. Note: Even before I added a contact page to the Kindle Nation website, I would occasionally receive emails from readers with question about the honest opinions I share with regard to the books whose authors sponsor our daily Free Book Alerts.

It's the real thing. There are no vampires, time-travelers, or interplanetary adventures, but there are real laughs and real tears throughout. And finally, this:
We've had well over a hundred sponsoring authors at Kindle Nation these past few months, yet I can count on the fingers of one hand the authors about whom I have written to my contacts among publishing industry editors, acquisitions people, and literary agents.

I'm clear enough about my own opinions that I don't need corroboration in these matters, but it turns out I am not alone. You'll see what I mean if you check out the book's customer reviews, with lines like this one:

- Q: Do I read them all?
- A: I do not read every word of every book, but I read all of many of them and a substantial part of nearly every one.
- Q: How do we know when you really like something?
- A. I try to say positive or neutrally descriptive things, and I am well-suited for this job in that I am someone who loves to read and enjoys a great deal of what I read. If I think a book is a waste of time, I won't accept it as a sponsor. If I'm only moderately positive, I'll probably limit myself to neutral description of what a book's about rather than going negative. But then there are the really special books....

and read it, if you disagree. --S.W.)I'm clear enough about my own opinions that I don't need corroboration in these matters, but it turns out I am not alone. You'll see what I mean if you check out the book's customer reviews, with lines like this one:
Brilliantly funny and simultaneously touching, the "moral of the story" comes with none of the in-your-face preaching that I would have associated with a book labeled as "Christian fiction," but with such power and conviction that even the most jaded agnostic would have to pause and ponder its message.Funny, that "Christian fiction" label. If you'd label the works of Flannery O'Connor, Graham Greene, or James Joyce as "Christian fiction," I'm sure you could apply the label to this one, but there's nothing formulaic of pedantic about this novel.
Here's the set-up:
You think you’ve got issues. Meet Cass Ewan.
After Plan A for her life falls to pieces, she moves in with single friends and reluctantly decides to mentor an at-risk teen. Never mind that Cass knows nothing about drugs, alcohol, or criminally-minded loser boyfriends. Once the prickly, dog-whispering 15-year-old Nadina enters Cass's life, everything is up for grabs.
There's new employment at a video game company with a charming fellow mentor. There's an unlikely friendship with her womanizing housemate Daniel, because who else can she ask about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll? And finally there's the epiphany about her own role in the universe. Where she once considered herself a cosmic unresolved plotline, Cass finds she still has a pivotal role to play.
And, finally, here are a few pretty telling review snippets:
- "A fun and highly recommended read that shouldn't be overlooked." --Midwestern Book Review
- "Heartbreaking and at times hilarious" -- July 2009 Book of the Month --LoveWebRadio.com
