Tiger Lillie 
By Lisa Samson

     Lillie Bauer isn't your ordinary Christian single. She loves the color orange, bungee jumps off bridges and is partner in a business that plans extreme weddings. With a Hungarian heritage as thick as Mulligan Stew, Lillie has much to live up to.

     She wishes she could find the love of a lifetime, but tries to submerge herself in living life to its fullest, loving Jesus with all her heart, while trying to convince her abused sister to leave her dangerous husband.

     This reviewer wishes she had read Lisa Samson's "The Church Ladies" before reading "Tiger Lillie," because so many things were confusing at the outset. It isn't the ordinary inspirational novel, having in it a converted gay man, cigarette-smoking artsy clothing designers, and other 'out of the main' characters. At first, I found this a little disconcerting, but kept reading to find that Samson has handled these characters with love and sensitivity.

     Once I was into it, I found the book charming, honest, and in the end, quite riveting. I would highly recommend "Tiger Lillie" to those who are daring enough to risk reading something different.
