When a pastor’s son saves her life, can a prodigal daughter dare to believe in second chances?

Noah Shaw is almost thirty and he still doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. Torn between running his business as a limo driver for Hollywood’s elite, and feeling called to ministry, he prays for direction. But he never expects that direction to include finding a woman near-death on the front steps of his father’s church.

Hannah left her family and her faith when she moved to Hollywood looking for adventure. Instead of finding fame in the movies, she was lured into the life of an exotic dancer. Hopeless and ashamed, suicide seems like her only escape. Until the night Noah saves her life.

The Shaw family welcomes her into their home and gives her a chance to start over. When the shadows of her former life threaten to expose her past, she must choose between running away or fighting for the new life she’s built and the man she’s grown to love.

I truly loved "Made in Hollywood"by Michelle Keener. While reading it and towards the end of the book I was reminded of the Biblical story of the Prodigal Son. This book also kept mentioning the two Biblical scriptures that I repeat to myself daily, Jeremiah 29:11 and Isaiah 41:10.

At first, when I started reading this book I was no way am I reading this because it was about a woman being found after she tempted suicide, and I was reminder of my own attempts. But I am really glad I kept reading.

This book clearly is a story that shows we are never alone, even when we don't think God is there. It also clearly shows that our sins are never too much for God to forgive.

Yes, this book starts out with a hard subject and deals with an exotic dancer, but the book is a clean read and I recommend it to all reader who reads Christian romance.

I wish I know the Shaw family personally. This is the second book with them as the main characters and this is a wonderful story of forgiveness and what true love really is. It is also a story of having a second chance of love. If you haven't read the first book, I really urge you too but you will enjoy this story without reading the first. I am eagerly awaiting the third book.

Yes, I am saying it again, this series would make a great television miniseries. I think it would be better than "This Is Us" because there would be no cursing if it was actually based on the books.

I really really think this is my favorite book of 2020.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

The Story of a Prodigal Daughter

Made in Hollywood is the sequel to my first Christian romance novel Mission Hollywood. It’s the story of Lily’s brother Noah and his search for love and direction. In the book, Noah meets a young girl who has been through some truly dark and terrible places. She’s been wounded, abused, and she’s lost hope. She’s worried that her past is too much for God to forgive, and that she’s fallen too far and doesn’t deserve God’s grace. She is a prodigal daughter lost on the streets of Hollywood.

One of the reasons I wrote Made in Hollywood (aside from the fact that I just adore Noah) is to be a reminder that God never gives up on us. Just like the story of the Prodigal Son, if we turn back to God, He will run to us and bring us home.

There is no place so dark that God light can’t reach.

There is no sin, no mistake, no circumstance that can separate us from the love of God. His arms are always open to us. His love is unchanging, unending, and unfailing. His amazing grace reaches the lost and restores what was broken. His love binds our wounds and heals our past. What the enemy intended for evil, God will turn to good. It’s a truth Hannah had to learn. It’s a truth I had to learn. And it’s a truth God wants His people to share. God’s love never fails.
I hope you enjoy Made in Hollywood!
