Morgan Malliard has a little problem, not only has she been scandalously engaged--twice--she is almost thirty and hasn't experienced what she calls "real life." Unless, of course, real life can be described as using Daddy's Visa whenever life gets a little tough.
A Girl's Best Friend is a tale of a San Francisco jewelry heiress as she recovers from her second disastrous engagement. In the aftermath, as her wedding-gown-clad self is plastered on the society page of every newspaper, Morgan realizes she doesn't have a clue what life is really like.
On a dare from her best friends, the Spa Girls, she agrees to live without her car and on a sum of money described by Morgan as three pair of shoes. But Morgan quickly realizes that living without Daddy's money is the least of her worries when, after a weekend without it, she finds out that it may be gone for good.
Does Morgan look good enough in orange to spend time in the big house? After all, someone has to pay the price of Daddy's tax evasion schemes.
A Girl's Best Friend is a novel of self-discovery and friendship. With laugh-out-loud-funny scenes and self-deprecating humor, Kristin Billerbeck takes us again into the mind of a flawed, but loveable character. Not everyone can relate to the level of wealth Morgan takes for granted, but who couldn't relate to making poor choices and living with the consequences?
Armchair Interviews says: As usual, readers can trust Kristin to push the Christian Fiction line of edgy without betraying our standards.
