Virginia Smith lives up to her newly won title of Writer of the Year (Mount Herman Writer’s Conference) in Stuck In The Middle,
Stuck In The Middle is an aptly named book revolving around Joan Sanderson–whose life has been put on hold while she looks out for her Grandma, who is wedged between sisters that Joan thinks are far more gregarious and personable than she is, and who is stuck in a superficial relationship with God. Stuck, that is, until a handsome, single doctor with an intensely personal relationship with God rents the house next-door and involuntarily drags Joan out of her rut.
As Joan struggles to break free, the reader is blessed with the genuine interactions between sisters, and family as a whole that Smith has woven into the story line so well. The dialogue is strong and realistic, the situations true to life and sometimes quite comical, and Joan, though a dejected character in many ways, is likeable and one you cheer for right from the beginning.
This alone would have made the book an enjoyable read, but Smith along with entertaining the reader reinforces the need for a personal relationship with God. She takes Joan, a Christian who has had a superficial relationship with God into discovering how to connect on a deeper level. Smith also does an excellent job of portraying the fear that Joan’s sisters have of the kind of Christian Joan wants to become simply because they don’t understand it.
Stuck In The Middle is not different than many other Christian fiction titles in that is has a spiritual message, but often, that message is dealt with in heavy handed and stilted way. Not Stuck In The Middle. This is the sort of book that while you read it you find yourself pleasantly entertained, seriously not wanting to put the book down even when you should be doing other things, and in the end you are surprised when you come away with a strong spiritual message.
Stuck In The Middle has something for everyone–romance, shopping, dating advice, sibling rivalry, family and spiritual relationships, and real life issues like caring for elderly family members all wrapped up in an entertaining package. Pick it up, today. You won’t be disappointed.

|Characters Sparkle in “Stuck in the Middle”,
Viginia Smith does it again in “Stuck in the Middle”. Her characters are realistic, artfully crafted, and endearingly flawed (aren’t we all?) and will pull you right into the story from page 1. Here’s a warning, though — don’t give the book as a gift unless you’re prepared for trouble. Now I have several friends calling to complain that they’re chomping at the bit to read the next installment in the series. Please bring us book 2 soon!!!
