Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas I visited the $5 Christian book store in glorious West Town Mall. During my time there I picked up the book "Reconstructing Natalie" by Laura Jenson Walker. It was one of the Women of Faith books. As a self-proclaimed queen of chick-lit novels, I have read several books by this group and this one looked good. I knew it was about a girl who had breast cancer, but I didn't realize how it would hit home with me. No, I don't have cancer nor do any of my friends at this time. But I realized two things reading this book: 1) if I ever have cancer I hope I face it with the bravery of Natalie and 2) I hope if I ever have a friend in a position such as this that I will support that friend as Natalie's friends supported her. So, if you are a girl who digs a good book I highly recommend this one to you. I hope you will laugh and cry with Natalie as she braves the highs and lows in this book.

Ooo, It sounds good. I need to add that to my list.
Our pastor's wife said this book was awesome too! You need to join Christian Fiction Blog Alliance...you get free Christian Fiction books in exchange for a review like you've done in this post. You have a specified three-day period(blog tour) in which to post the review. A lot of the books are Chick-Lit. and did I mention that the books are FREE?!
