Customer Reviews

Understanding God's plan for you, and having the guts to go along with it.

One of the best in its genre. Allie Pleiter's characters are so accessible, fun, and colorful, that I actually missed them when I had finished the book. The female friendships Pleiter has created are hilarious, yet touching. Another enjoyable relationship is the one Darcy shares with her husband. You can see them falling in love with each other again, as they look at each other with new eyes, and discover new things about themselves and each other. Darcy struggles with being the best mother, daughter, wife, and friend she can be, while trying not to lose herself in the process. Her daily fight with the grief of losing her father shows how difficult it is to lose a parent, no matter how old you are. Without preaching, Pleiter teaches us that trusting in God can point us toward what is really important in life.

A Feel Good Book

This is a definite must read. Darcy has a big choice to make with keeping a million dollars or giving it to charity. I love the message the author gives about trusting God and finding our way when the world turns upside down. You will laugh out loud and cry with Darcy . I cant wait for her next book!!!!

A Great Christian Fiction Read!

Not only is this book attractive on the outside, it's beautiful on the inside as well. The author has written a thought-provoking, engaging, and enjoyable story for women of all ages and all walks of life. I didn't want it to end, but Allie tied everything together beautifully, making the story well worth reading. I will recommend this to friends!

Book sparks introspection and creativity

Darcy uses Chocolate and Diet Coke to help her cope with the stress of the moment - a pattern I well understand. But it is the creativity released as she explores philanthropy that I carry with me from this novel. Author, Allie Pleiter, offers well-colored characters that have honest feelings and insights. Relationships cross generations and genders. There is wisdom, humor and tears in interactions with mentors and friends. Grief shakes us to our core. This book addresses the realities of loss and depression offering possibilities for restoration and wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Darcy reminds me that faithful life choices are often obscured and take time to develop. This book will help you to consider how your life makes a difference for others - and you might get creative about it!

Good warm feeling!

This is the type of book that leaves you feeling warm and mushy inside after you're finished with it. Allie Pleiter's BAD HEIRESS DAY is a great read and here's why: What would YOU do with a million dollars?? I asked myself this question even as Darcy, the heroine of this book, did the same. Her father left her $1 million after his death--money Darcy had no idea he even had--with his dying request that she "give it all away." What would you do? Would you be able to do as your father requested or would you ignore it all and go on a wild shopping spree? I have to admit, as a Christian I wasn't too happy with the answer I found myself rooting for as I read. After all, what woman wouldn't dream of a new dishwasher and refrigerator--especially when the originals are daring to take their last breath? I actually wanted Darcy to go crazy even when I knew this wouldn't be what God would want and wasn't the moral of the story. I struggled right along with Darcy as she fought with herself--and her husband--in understanding why her father asked her to do what he had all the while fighting anger at him for hiding a situation with such monumental consequences. There were a few slow moments which is why I couldn't offer Ms. Pleiter 5 stars but all in all it was a book that left me with a good warm feeling inside and I will definitely be looking forward to her next one!
