"The Newsmakers" by Lis Wiehl. This is a good, page turning book! It did keep my interest. The story is about Erica Sparks, who is a recovering alcoholic, who lost her beloved daughter, and husband. It sets out with her being interviewed in a prestigious news company. She gets the job, and things are just turning out different.
How does she "happen" to be in the right place, at the right time while horrific events take place? Is she reporting the news, or is someone making the news happen??
She is also dealing with a lot of personal issues. Her ex-husband has found a new love, she is battling the demons of the alcohol, she wants her daughter to like her, and not be scared of her, and she has a new love interest.
Although Thomas Nelson published this book, you can not tell that it is Christian. There is some swearing, her boss snorts cocaine as well as watches her undress, the alcohol references and desires, and a lady at her work is in a homosexual relationship. I didn't see any mention of faith, or Jesus helping with any of the issues. Aside from what I've mentioned, it is a clean book.
I received this e-book free for my honest review.
