The Good Life

Drema Hall Berheimer's moving and funny account of her childhood in West Virginia is the perfect read for a lazy Saturday. She weaves her stories and draws you in until you don't want to put the book down. Journey with her through her sometimes painful, always authentic, and hilariously accurate account of life as a young girl growing up in Appalachia in a Pentecostal household.  I love how the chapters are fairly short, but packed full of great narrative. The author does an amazing job of making you feel like you are right there in the middle of the story.  Memoirs are my favorite genre and this one does not disappoint! I highly recommend it.

I really liked Dana Yeakley's style of writing and her open and genuine way of sharing about herself, including successes  and failures.  I especially appreciated the first section of the book, which is a great heart check for anyone desiring to disciple other women.
