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<\/em>, her latest. Here’s Barbara:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“When Lyn invited me to share about a strong woman whom I admire, I immediately thought about a woman from my church.\u00a0 Renee is a busy mother of six children–the oldest child now a senior in high school, the youngest still in elementary school.\u00a0 She works full time and just finished obtaining an AA degree from a local college.\u00a0 Now she\u2019s working on getting her BA degree.\u00a0 So with husband, kids, church, work and the other activities involving six children, I don\u2019t know how she remains sane, much less such a delightful woman.\u00a0 She\u2019s willing to help whenever she can.\u00a0 Her children are equally helpful, polite and fun to be around.\u00a0 I think she\u2019s a tremendous role model to her children and others in our church with her dedication to completing her college education.\u00a0 There may be days when she gets discouraged.\u00a0 There may be days when she gets overwhelmed.\u00a0 But her sunny disposition and kindness knows no limits.\u00a0 And her strong faith if reflected in every step she takes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of woman I want for my heroines\u2013strong, focused, joyful and demonstrating a strong faith to see her through any difficulties that come her way.\u00a0 My heroine in Mirror Image Bride is such a woman.\u00a0 Maddie\u2019s 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.\u00a0 Throughout it all, however, she maintains her faith and strong commitment to rely on the Lord for her strength. <\/strong><\/p>\n

She takes on a job she hasn\u2019t trained for so not to be a burden.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 And she\u2019s tenacious in trying to find her father to get answers to the myriad of questions that keep arising.\u00a0 Her faith shines through each step encourages the hero in his own journey.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Everyone has friends, relatives or colleagues whom they admire.\u00a0 Is this important to you in the stories you read as well?\u00a0 What\u2019s your favorite kind of heroine?<\/strong>“–Barbara <\/p>\n
