On ring and a Prayer -Sandra D. Bricker

What's the book about:

In a city where everything is gorgeous and expensive, can Jessie Stanton survive on pennies and prayers?Twelve years of marriage, 4,000 square feet of dream house, and a handsome husband. Jessie Stanton has it all… until one fateful afternoon when she notices her BMW bouncing by the window behind a tow truck. Her husband has gone, and he’s taken it all. The whirling tornado that cuts down the life she’s built drops Jessie onto the sandy beach of Malibu with a thud, penniless and alone. When all she’s left with are the designer labels in her closet and the dreamy Neil Lane rock on her finger, Jessie tries to make ends meet by pawning her prized ring to fund a new business venture: a small shop where her designer duds and shimmering accessories are temporarily leased out to Southern California women with champagne tastes but root beer realities. As Jessie tries to rebuild, she realizes she can’t move on, not without answers. Reluctantly, Jessie turns to beach bum/private investigator Danny Callahan for help. But is she staking her future success and happiness…on a ring and a prayer?

My thoughts on the book:

New starts are never easy; there are lots of bumps in the road that get you to new starts and new chapters. Sometimes you have to just pick yourself up and dust yourself off.  Not everyone can relate with the rich and famous but everyone can relate to being betrayed by someone you love and care for so deeply. Jessie is no different she is strong and seems to have a lot going for her. When her life crashes around her she is forced to come face to face with choice that can’t be easy for most of us. The plot and the storyline literally grab you and draw you from one page to the next and keep you there from the beginning of the book till the very end. With each character you feel like you could be friends or know someone in like that. I have to say hands down I will be telling everyone I know about this book, can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out. This book did not disappoint and you cannot go wrong with buy this book.

My Thoughts on each of the main characters in the book:

• Daniel- free-spirited fun loving surfer guy with a heart to help others and a love for God
• Amber-a go-getting risk taker with a lot of love and spirit you just want to be around her
• Stephanie- (I want to be her when I grow up) she seems like a no non sense person with a lot of value in life and friends
• Piper- a loyal friend, sweet, loving and full of spirit, a true friend
• Jessie- head strong lets nothing in life stop her, has a big heart but a broken spirit.
• Riggs- Friend to everyone a big hearted guy with a lot of spirit, not very vocal about things and life
• Frank- A fun loving friend who thinks he should be loved and honored by everyone who comes in contact with him and everyone needs to know he is that and will not be ignored. 
• Grampy- The most loving person with a big heart of gold who wants the best for all in his life but knows that life is not always sunshine and roses.
