I just finished reading the book In Front of God and Everybody: Confessions of April Grace written by K. D. McCrite. I was looking forward to getting this book after reading the summary about it, and I had planned on passing it along to my niece to read. After receiving and reading the book, though, I don't plan to give it to her. I was disappointed in the quality of this book. If you don't mind reading the backhills language and very, very "country" talk throughout this book, you might enjoy it. I found it to be more immature and silly than I expected. I knew that it was going to be written through a child's perspective of growing up in the Ozarks, but I personally didn't care for the way it was written.
Trust me...I have nothing against people who live in the country or talk Southern slang, for I too am a Southern girl who lives out in the country myself! We live on a farm and not in a suburb with neighbors right on top of us. I was just very disappointed in this book, and I don't plan on reading the sequel Clicks, Hicks, and Ugly Sticks. I received a complimentary copy of this book to read and review from Thomas Nelson and BookSneeze. All opinions of this book are my own.
