What happens when strong-willed women get tired of one person running everything?
A sparkling, comic disregard for change.
If you’re looking for a sweet book about dealing with change — this isn’t it. But you will laugh as a cast of lively characters push through conflicted times.
The Lutheran Ladies are sassy, have “strong-spine” opinions, and have stepped out of your office, your kid’s soccer … have stepped out of your office, your kid’s soccer club, or your church to live on these pages. They deal with change — sometimes poorly — but with humor and heartache; they’re on life’s journey.
In Book One: Vera Henley has pulled the strings of the Lutheran Ladies Circle for years; now everything is unraveling. Traditions are changing. Even the annual rummage sale can’t escape modernization. And the independent Circle women are cheering the changes — all except for Vera. Her humorous efforts to stop time time are often heart-breaking. And when her high-maintenance, crazy aunt introduces even more rebellion and upheaval, Vera is forced to pick through the chaos and choose: Which threads of change should she pluck — or can she bend others to do it her way?

I know all of these women!
Funny and true to life for church women’s groups
Can someone please explain why so many characters kept raising their eyebrows twice and what that was supposed to mean.
Very slow story, very unlikable characters
Loved this book! The characters are very real to life and I laughed through it, yet was touched by how the characters related to each other. I read it in one day! Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Meh
I found this book boring and just could not get into it. I was disappointed and would not recommend it at this time. Maybe will give it another try later.
I thoroughly enjoyed. Good, clean, laugh out loud book.
I began reading this book, but soon was confused on which characters where doing or saying what. I continued reading hoping I would find clarity into the incidents happening, but no luck. I did not complete reading. Sorry.
I thought this book was silly and trite for the most part.
I enjoyed this thoroughly
Could not get through the first few chapters because of the nastiness of several of the characters. May have redeeming quality in the end, but couldn’t get that far.
Does not capture your interest. Almost abandoned as it did not buildup to conclusion. Some inspirational thoughts in last chapters
This book’s a hoot. Enjoyed it very much!
Wit ended well but it dragged to get there
As a born Lutheran, I loved it – reminded me of the ladies at my own church!
could not get into the book
A funny read yet it is representative of people’s lives. I really enjoyed reading this book.
As a Lutheran, I greatly enjoyed the nuances of this novel.
I enjoyed reading about the different ladies and their very real life foibles. No one is perfect and that is how it should be.
Anyone who is an active church member will recognize these characters. I laughed out loud at several points.
