Maggie's Mondays is an excellent Christian love story.  It is clean and hilarious, or is that hilarious and clean?  When the coach of the girl's softball team pairs up with five year divorcee, Maggie, who just happens to be a simple cleaning lady, there are misgivings on both parts on whether these families could possibly unite to become the Brady Bunch.  Seven Children betweent the two!!!  Oh, and one mother on oxygen.  What a houseful! Maggie and Jim both find themselves asking the question, "Could this possibly work out?" Enjoy the drama as Jim, recent widower, has to decide if he is ready to throw in with all this chaos.  He is attracted to Maggie but with Maggie comes 4 more kids. He quickly realizes that his way of disciplining children is completely opposite of Maggie's, whose children he feels are spoiled. Add to the fact that these kids go to school together and do not like each other, he is not so sure this marriage would have a chance.  This is a great conversational-type story.  Learning to pray and trust in God's will is a strong theme.  I thought Ms. Adams handled this very well, although, at times, I must admit, I saw Maggie on stage performing soliloguy. Nevertheless, I never got bored with the story as it was told with great wit. If you like a nice chick-lit story, you will enjoy this one.Dawn Kurtz, author of the Christian novel:Secret of the Mexican Doll
