Georgia on Her Mind by Rachel Hauck
3.0
Macy Moore is a 33 year old executive who loves her designer things, corporate job, and a boyfriend who doesn't get in the way. Her new life is exactly what she wanted when she left Beauty, Georgia years ago.
Through a demotion and subsequent loss of her job, finding out her boyfriend fell in love with someone else while she wasn't paying attention, and trying to force her life to fit what she thinks she wants and needs, Macy begins to wonder what is going on. Although it seems that her life is falling apart, Macy realizes that she has been slacking off on the whole God thing.
While the story was good and the message that God will take care of you, has a plan for you, knows what is best for you, and will get you there one way or another is repeatedly shown and not preached, I did find myself getting a bit annoyed with Macy for continuously being so stubborn. She asks God for guidance, hears the answer and then still does what she wants to do. Realistically, this is what many Christians do. So, I guess the story does bring a message of hope.
However, I think that a little more action and less dithering would have made the story better.
