On My Bookshelf: Secrets over Sweet Tea

I’ve said it before and will probably say it at least 100 more times……love the cover of this book! It just appeals to me. If you’ve lived in the south, you’ve probably traded a few of your own secrets over a good cup of sweet tea. By the way, the tea must be sweetened at the time of preparation with good old-fashioned sugar, absolutely never with sugar packets when you’re sitting at your meal. Otherwise it’s not sweet tea, it’s tea with sweet sand floating around in it. NOT the same thing.

Secrets over Sweet Tea is a wonderful, heartbreaking, laugh-out-loud book that really expresses the heart of being a Christian mom and pastor’s wife.  Scarlett Jo is an old soul who reminds me of every good friend I’ve ever had, in different ways.  The way that she runs through town and doesn’t care what others are thinking of her.  The way that she prays constantly, with earnest, for those whose homes she passes.  The way she talks with her kids.  Everything about her makes me love her and visualize her as the girl I’d call at the end of the day and say, “What’s up?”  The setting of this book is in Franklin, TN so it is also kind of close to home for me.  Author Denise Hildreth Jones got this story right.  You can find this book in my Amazon widget so that others can share its bittersweet story.

I love reading books by local authors and this is one of the best.  Knowing that it’s Christian fiction makes it even better.  It’s important to me to have a book that my children can stumble upon and I don’t have to gasp, pull it out of their hands, and pray that they didn’t see anything that might corrupt their innocent eyes.  Do you know what I mean?  It’s hard to get that sometimes these days. When browsing online, surfing the radio stations, or just on close captioning on the TV kids can come across things that aren’t meant for their eyes or ears.  Thank God that Christian fiction is something I can always count on to be safe and wholesome!
