Jane is hilariously funny even in the worst of circumstances.
Pastor Jane was transferred to Desert Hills Church to be an
assistant pastor and boy howdy did she have her hands full. From taking in
foster daughter Harmony, to dealing with Pastor Bob Normal, to meeting Frank (a
cute detective), to learning about PSA (a claimed adoption agency), Jane just
would not quit. An appropriate title for this book because Jane just would not
give up, even to her own detriment.
Jane is the sort of person who speaks before she thinks and
it gets her in more trouble than she can get out of, or so it seems.
I enjoyed reading about Jane and her antics. The situations
she got herself into were serious, most especially surrounding PSA, but she
used her humor to find (or maybe blunder) her way through different situations.
And, she certainly wasn’t expecting to meet Frank. I could imagine Frank (and
even Jane’s grandfather, affectionately called Gramps) rolling their eyes at
Jane with all the trouble she found herself in. Gramps and Frank were both
voices of reason for Jane, though sometimes she just didn’t listen because she
figured she knew better.
This tale touched on some pretty serious subjects, but they
were described in such a way to not get the reader bogged down in the
seriousness, but rather just calling attention to different things – for
instance, the foster care system Harmony almost found herself in; an adoption
agency that wasn’t necessarily on the up and up (not to mention the association
with a church); gambling and drinking; a relationship gone bad between Harmony
and her dad. But there were good things too – Jane taking in Harmony and Tuffy
(a dog); Gramps; Jane meeting Frank.
I enjoyed Jane’s sense of humor and the fact that this
‘memoir’ was told in the first person. I also enjoyed Jane’s persistence in
getting to the bottom of things and how her humor shined through. I can only
imagine, if there is another Jane book, what she will find herself involved in
next.
