Help for Hobbies of all Sorts by Rene' Hobbie

Karen Kingsbury is a contemporary Christian author, and her books are awesome!  I've read almost everyone of them starting with Redemption from the Redemption series.  In this book, the Baxter family is introduced.  They definitely have their ups and downs but remember to stay strong in their faith and let God work in their everyday situations.  Reading the last book about the Baxters (there are three series) was like saying goodbye to dear friends.  Thankfully, Mrs. Kingsbury continues to include the Baxters in her current novels.  She has also written stand alone titles that are great, too.


I just finished reading Karen Kingbury's latest book...Leaving... in the Bailey Flanigan series. I'll anxiously be awaiting the second book coming out in June. 


  The Bailey Flanigan series begins with Bailey leaving Bloomington for the adventure of a lifetime. She has won an audition for the ensemble of a Broadway musical in New York City. She's determined to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but is she really ready to leave family and friends for the loneliness of the city? And what of Cody? His disappearance has her worried about their future and praying that their love can survive. 
 
In order to be closer to his mother in jail, Cody takes a coaching job in a small community outside Indianapolis. New friends, distance, and circumstances expose cracks in his relationship with Bailey Flanigan.

Love, loneliness, big opportunities, and even bigger decisions highlight the first book in the new Bailey Flanigan series that features members of the popular Baxter family and finally completes the Bailey Flanigan/Cody Coleman story.

For those of you who have kept up with Bailey and her love life...Are you for Team Cody or Team Brandon?
