Publisher Description
Award-winning, best-selling author of over 60 books, Tracie Peterson skillfully explores the deepest tests of faith and forgiveness. In What She Left for Me, a preacher's wife must lean on her battered family for healing. When Jana McGuire returns from an African mission trip only to find her pastor husband has taken all their money and left with his secretary, she is devastated. Left with no worldly possessions, Jana is forced to seek help from her distant mother and bubbly, welcoming great-aunt Taffy. But Jana soon realizes her mother's cold demeanor hides a tragic past, and the two must mend their relationships with God and each other.

"Another great book! Given to me by my Aunt. A wonderful (though very sad and emotional at times) story about forgiveness and sin. Makes you look at sin in another way.. sin is sin.. whether shoplifing or murder... hmmmm... something to contemplate for sure! A very good read and a very good ending."
— Lorri (5 out of 5 stars)

" I read this book in two days. Alot of times you picck up on the foreshadowing and you expect certain things to happen, but this book had suprises. Eleanor reminded me so much of my own grandmother it was unbelievable. I feel like I truly learned some things from the characters and story line. "

" I enjoyed this less than I thought I would. I generally like Peterson's writing, but the subject matter was hard to swallow. Plus, the copy I had was oddly missing thirty pages so I had to catch back up with the plot. Not my favorite. "
