Sarah woke up this morning throwing up.

And although there is nothing whatsoever cute or sweet about a tummy bug, I can’t help but smile at her when she looks up at me, and says in her little weak voice, “mommy, I need to go throw up now”

awwwwww!

Then the moment is lost when she sticks her head in the toilet, I hold her hair back, she starts puking, and I start dry heaving behind her.

i.don’t.do.throw.up.

I can’t stand it. I am the type of person just hearing someone else do it, I get sick. I remember one time David had a terrible bug, he was in one bathroom sick as a dog, and I was in the other one because I couldn’t woMAN up.

When Emily & Audrey are sick with it, David takes charge ’cause he knows I”ll totally lose it if I have to help out. I’m more of a snotty nose, sore throat, coughin’ up a lung kinda mom.

But Sarah is a little different. I can still take care of her ’cause she is still somewhat, kinda little.

But in the next year or so, she’ll be all David’s when she gets the dreaded tummy bug.

This week, the

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
As a husband/wife writing team, Dave and Neta Jackson are enthusiastic about books, kids, walking with God, gospel music, and each other! Together they are the authors or coauthors of over 100 books. In addition to writing several books about Christian community, the Jacksons have coauthored numerous books with expert resource people on a variety of topics from racial reconciliation to medical ethics to ministry to kids in gangs.
Dave and Neta live in Evanston, Illinois, where for twenty-seven years they were part of Reba Place Church, a Christian church community. They are now members of a multi-racial congregation in the Chicago area.
They’re trying something new! Not just new for them, but something completely new in Christian fiction: “Parallel novels,” two stories taking place in the same time frame, same neighborhood, involving some of the same characters living through their own dramas and crises but interacting with and affecting one another … just the way it happens in real life.
It’s something that only a husband and wife writing team could pull off. While Neta has Where Do I Go?, her husband Dave has written Harry Bentley’s Second Chance.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A story of seeking-and finding-God’s will in unlikely places.
Gabrielle Fairbanks has nearly lost touch with the carefree, spirited young woman she was when she married her husband fifteen years ago. But when the couple moves to Chicago to accommodate Philip’s business ambitions, Gabby finds the chance to make herself useful. It’s there she meets the women of Manna House Women’s Shelter; they need a Program Director-and she has a degree in social work. She’s in her element, feeling God’s call on her life at last, even though Philip doesn’t like the changes he sees in her. But things get rough when Philip gives Gabby an ultimatum: quit her job at the shelter or risk divorce and losing custody of their sons. Gabby must take refuge, as in the song they sing at Sunday night worship: "Where do I go when there’s no one else to turn to? . . . I go to the Rock I know that’s able, I go to the Rock."
Romantic Times Book Reviews says, “Exquisite characters coupled with God’s mercy and love emanate from each page.”
Publisher’s Weekly adds, “Jackson’s Yada Yada series has sold half a million copies, and this new offshoot series … promises the same…. The book’s dramatic ending … leav[es] readers eager for the next installment in the series.”
