I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, Stuck in the Middle, and have been patiently (ok, not so patiently) awaiting the release of book two, Age Before Beauty. It was definitely worth the wait. It follows the oldest sister in the Sanderson family, Allie Harrod. She’s desperate to stay home with her new baby – so desperate, in fact, that she’s willing to become a work-at-home mom (WAHM) if that’s what it takes.

It’s not often I find a great WAHM character, so I was especially excited about Allie. She’s smart, spunky and hilarious. She goes through so many of the same feelings I’ve felt along the way to becoming a work-at-home mom and it was fun to follow along on her journey.  She knows it can be done and goes for it with her whole heart. What a fun read!

More about Age Before Beauty:

Desperate to stay home with her baby, Allie Harrod launches a new career. Sure, she dropped out of Girl Scouts because she was lousy at cookie sales, but makeup is different, right? She’ll do anything to make enough money to cover her share of the household bills, but how can she focus on her business when her list of problems is growing? None of her pre-baby clothes fit, her checking account is dwindling, and her mother-in-law has decided to move in! To top it off, her husband’s attractive coworker suddenly needs his help every weekend. Middle sister Joan insists that God has the answers to all her problems, but Allie isn’t so sure. Can she really trust him? (From VirginiaSmith.com)
