Borrowing Abby Green,ISBN9781937704032, Backlit Fiction LLC, e-book by Kelly Green is the third in this series of short stories, and the second I am to review.Abby Green is a young lady who has passed away, but for some reason must continue to float around the universe entering other bodies and assuming their identity. The bodies she assumes are those of individuals who are in some kind of difficulty. Apparently, she is quite good at adjusting to the problem and finding a solution and this is the reason for her continued wandering among the mortals.In her ministerial duties she is aided by Will, an ethereal `mentor' who provides a certain amount of basic material to aid in her endeavors. In this particular episode, Abby finds herself in a man's body necessitating some adjustments and the need to learn new simple manly routines.As in the first of the series, the story moves along at a nice pace with a simple but credible plot and acceptable characters. Young male readers may notice that the directions for tying a tie apply only if one is left handed and that one does not usually shave after putting on a tie. Generally, however, the male presentation is  well handled and once again, Kelly Green has provided a tale that young adults should enjoy.  Reviewed by John H.
