While the name of
this novel is humorous, the content is not.
So much for me relaxing and chuckling over a funny book. Faith Bass Darling abruptly wakes from her
sleep because god has told her she must sell her belongings. These are not your everyday things. These are rooms of antiques and furniture
worth thousands. So Faith has two teens
help her move everything to her front yard where she proceeds to sell all her
things for a ridiculously low price.
Through this yard sale the reader is treated to glimpses of her life and losses. Faith is not a well woman and it is sad to see her "disappear" mentally and then return to the present. The sad thing is she knows she is having memory lapses and tries to bring herself back. Going through this with my own Mom I can merely guess how incredibly frustrating and depressing to realize (if you do realize it) that you can not remember what you did an hour ago or this morning.
