Take Two by Karen Kingsbury
The second book in the Above the Line Series…and it’s a great one!
Keith and Chase are finishing up all the details on The Last Letter and their lives as producers seem to be falling into place. When the author of a best selling novel approaches them to produce her book, they thank God for his many blessings and provisions. Alas though, Hollywood has a way of making dreams hard to accomplish. Problems begin to arise as they strive to continue to seek God’s will in this endeavor.
Chase is facing a temptation that could ruin his work in film making and his home life. Will he be able to stay focused and faithful to the God he serves?
Andi and Bailey are living the college life. Andi is beginning to branch out from the “old, stuffy” views and beliefs she was raised with. She wants to live life to it’s fullest and Taz may just be the man to show her how. While she works on her acting, Taz helps her explore being a “spiritual thinker”. Will Andi give up God to be able to live the “exciting” life that she sees everyone else living? Will Taz be her key to this life?
Bailey and Tim share a dream of acting on Broadway, but for Bailey things are beginning to shift. Torn between Tim and Cody, she struggles to hear and follow God’s will for her life. Will she be patient enough to wait on God?
Cody is struggling to do the right thing. He knows Bailey is with Tim and he doesn’t want to get in the way, yet he still wants Bailey’s friendship. Will he be able to find a way to be a friend and not harm her relationship with her boyfriend?
Kelly can’t go on this way anymore. She is tired of Chase never being home. She longs for some help in the everyday living at her house. She worries about everything constantly. Why should she have to do it all alone? So, she starts eating… Will she be able to overcome this gray cloud that is hovering over her life?
This is a fantastic book in this series. You really become immersed into each of the characters stories. I just wish I had book three right now so I could finish the story! But, alas, we’ll have to wait a little longer!
Kingsbury is going to be working on an unrelated novel, Shades of Blue, set to release on October 20, 2009. After this she will continue the Above the Line series with book three: Take Three. This third book is set to be released on March 23, 2010. So…you might want to hold off until March and read the entire series together!
