Review: Last Family Standing - Jennifer Allee





Review: Last Family Standing - Jennifer Allee - September 2014

One of my favourite Christian fiction authors is Jennifer Allee and with her book Last Family Standing it mixes adoption, family drama and reality TV together as well as a hint of romance blossoming. Twenty Five years ago Monica gave up a baby girl for adoption as she was just in her early twenties and the father had left without a goodbye and she wasn't ready or capable of raising a baby. Now years later, that girl is called Jessica and she is starring on a family TV show and she wants her birth mother to join her as her family member . The thing is she only knows her first name and has her graduation photo. Imagine Monica's shock when she sees it on TV. Soon Monica's life is thrown upside down as she is entered into the survivor type reality TV show "Last Family Standing" with a host who continues to flirt with her and a daughter who won't talk to her and seems to resent her and the guest appearance of Duncan - whom is Jessica's birth father and the big clinch is - she never told Duncan she was pregnant and hasn't seen him since the day he disappeared from her life twenty-five years ago. The other thing too is that Monica is a klutz and seems like she may very well hold the record for most injuries on a reality TV show.  Can Monica and Jess put aside their differences and the past and learn to forgive one another, in order to get through the show and win the grand prize in which Jess needs as her birth mother is dying from ALS ? Find out in this inspirational and enjoyable take on the Survivor type reality show "Last Family Standing" by Jennifer Allee.
This book is worth reading if you love reading about Family Dynamics - the functional and dysfunctional as well as being a fan of the reality shows like "Survivor".
