Just Between You and Me: A Novel of Losing Fear and Finding God
316 pages · First published 2009
Maggie Montgomery returns to her hometown after years of avoiding both family complications and the fears she has learned to disguise with humor and independence. Her arrival reconnects her with people who remember the girl she was, including a veterinarian whose presence makes emotional distance harder to maintain. Family needs and an unexpected responsibility force Maggie to confront the anxiety that has quietly shaped many of her decisions. Jenny B. Jones blends Christian contemporary fiction, romance, humor, and a candid exploration of fear with a heroine learning that faith does not require pretending to be fearless.
