Ivy Schneider wants to be a good mom, faithful wife, supportive daughter, and a there-for-you-no-matter-what sister, but life is spinning in ways she couldn’t predict or prepare for. It’s her faith and love that will get her through.
Ivy feels like a lunch meat, pressed between two pieces of bread. The top slice – raising her family, the bottom slice – caring for her parents. She is about to lose it all when she start the Sandwich Club – inviting people just like her to meet, vent, and support each other.
Poor Ivy’s busy world definitely needs support. Her absent husband makes good money in a ministry that keeps away. Her rich needy sister is about to lose another husband, while the egocentric brother is still acting the part of the baby and doing whatever he wants no matter the cost to others. How can Ivy be the twine that holds everyone together when her own kids and her own life needs work?
Club Sandwich proves to be the place where Ivy bonds with fellow frayed spirits and comes to understand that no woman is able to do it all but still, with God, all things are possible.
Lisa Samson is a creative character developer, giving us real situations in fantastic slice-of-life-daily-living plots. Her books take us into lives of friends and let us journey along.
A definite recommended read.
