Neta Jackson

Dear Readers,
Come to the Table by Neta Jackson is the second in the SoldOut Sisters series.  Once again Neta takes us to Chicago on a journey of hope and promise.  Believe it or not, even though I have never lived in Chicago these books have a way of making me feel like I have come home again.
Come to the Table, Neta JacksonKat Davis is still struggling with her desire to share good eating habits with the families of the neighborhood.  Others understand what she is trying to say, but they also feel that Kat has no idea what it is like to live on food stamps, in a single parent home or why the quick and easy isn't the best choice for them.  Edesa tries gently to push her in the right direction with some very interesting results.
I waited until vacation to read this book because it is just so fun to visit with old friends while relaxing.  Avis from Yada Yada prayer group factors in this series and so we have a time to visit with the Yadas again.  Of course you go back to visit the House of Hope and the Manna House also.  That way you can touch base with many of our favorite characters and see how they are all doing.
I am sure there is not anything new I can say about this series or any of the books that are included in any of the series that Neta has written.  They are good gentle reads.  They include a good deal of real life and yet offer answers and hope.  They are just, as I said before, a coming home. 
Happy Reading
