What if you had an alter ego that was everything you felt you could never be? I'm not talking about a split personality, or an evil twin. Still you, but different. Messy where you're neat, colorful where you're drab, happy where you're sad, inept where you're skilled, skilled where you're inept, playful where you're stoic. What if you woke up to find the alter ego had taken over your life?A Mind of Her Own is a delightful story about finding yourself. Louisa is the perfect wife. The house is neat, her clothes are stylish but drab, she's skilled in cooking and child care, she faces adversity with patience and endurance, and she's unhappy with her life.A bump to the head sends her to the hospital, and when her eyes pop open, Louisa is gone and Jazz has taken her place. Colorful, playful, messy, happy, without-a-housewifely- clue Jazz.Diana has painted us a wonderful picture of learning to treasure what you have, exploring what you always wanted to be, and leaning on your faith to get it all done. It's also a story about forgiveness and faithfulness.I give A Mind of Her Own five stars.
