A single mom rents her inlaw unit to an ex-monk and they become romantically involved.

Rating: A

A single mom rents her inlaw unit to an ex-monk and they become romantically involved. The plot is really that simple, but Tim Farrington explores the in's and out's of Service vs. Contemplation. The single mom's daughter is named Mary-Martha and provides the living balance of service and "the one thing required" (see the story of Mary and Martha in Luke).

A warning to christians reading this, they sleep together before marriage and sometimes it's racy.

Recomendation: Fantastically written and a great book to read out loud to your spouse! Jenny and I loved it together.
