Do you have those women in your life that you really look up to, want to be more like? They just seem to have it all together -- they always look amazing, they volunteer at church, they are the first to bake someone a meal, they make everything from scratch, etc. They make it look so easy --- to do it all, have it all together, and be this amazing Mom, wife and keeper of the house. Nothing is ever out of place at their house. Things always look perfect.
Us women we look up to those kind of women - we try to emulate them, try to be more like them. We think if we are just more like them our lives would be perfect. Yet, is their life really all that perfect? Do they have it all together --- or is it just a show? This book explore that. Ariel wants to be like Justine - who seems to have it all together. She is this amazing woman with the perfectly organized house, perfect children that always behave, wonderful husband. Yet, underneath the surface - the foundation is cracked. The relationship that is most important - that with the heavenly Father - is not there.
I really enjoyed this book - loved the writing. I guess I could just relate to the story line because there have been over the years women that I have looked up to and tried to be more like. While it is good to try to improve ourselves, it is not good to try to be someone totally different from who God created me to be.
