Author Barbara McMahon & What’s Your Favorite Heroine?
My guest today is best-selling author Barbara McMahon. I was pleased when she accepted my invitation. She’s a long time author and a lovely sweetie online. She’s also offering a GIVEAWAY of Mirror Image Bride, her latest. Here’s Barbara:
“When Lyn invited me to share about a strong woman whom I admire, I immediately thought about a woman from my church. Renee is a busy mother of six children–the oldest child now a senior in high school, the youngest still in elementary school. She works full time and just finished obtaining an AA degree from a local college. Now she’s working on getting her BA degree. So with husband, kids, church, work and the other activities involving six children, I don’t know how she remains sane, much less such a delightful woman. She’s willing to help whenever she can. Her children are equally helpful, polite and fun to be around. I think she’s a tremendous role model to her children and others in our church with her dedication to completing her college education. There may be days when she gets discouraged. There may be days when she gets overwhelmed. But her sunny disposition and kindness knows no limits. And her strong faith if reflected in every step she takes.
That’s the kind of woman I want for my heroines–strong, focused, joyful and demonstrating a strong faith to see her through any difficulties that come her way. My heroine in Mirror Image Bride is such a woman. Maddie’s fallen on difficult times with the loss of her job, the disappearance of her father, and the startling new development in her family with the discovery of a brother, sister and mother she never knew she had. Throughout it all, however, she maintains her faith and strong commitment to rely on the Lord for her strength.
She takes on a job she hasn’t trained for so not to be a burden. She’s open-minded about the discovery of her siblings–spending as much time with them as she can to catch up and learn who these amazing people are. And she’s tenacious in trying to find her father to get answers to the myriad of questions that keep arising. Her faith shines through each step encourages the hero in his own journey.
Everyone has friends, relatives or colleagues whom they admire. Is this important to you in the stories you read as well? What’s your favorite kind of heroine?“–Barbara
