Title: A gal I would like to know
Review: The main character, Esmeralda, is a lady I would like to know. She doesn't have much "book learning" but she does have a whole lot of giving heart, her well thumbed copy of the Bible and a book by the famous Christian writer she often quotes. She mistakenly calls him Splurgeon which is funny, and Esmeralda uses words incorrectly to funny effect. She notes that her friend is almost "historical" with worry and grief. I enjoy these turns of phrase and how Esmeralda meets each needy person with the best Christian response of "how can I help you?". She takes someone with AIDS into her home without a backward glance and works to arrange for an adoption and lots more that I won't share here, so the book will be fresh for you. The mule on the cover has a role to play too. I aim to buy the second book in the series "Good Heavens".
