Fictional Book By Liz Curtis Higgs.From Library JournalChristian fiction isn't known for humorous books, so this title is a special joy. In her fiction debut, Higgs (Help, I'm Laughing and I Can't Get Up, Thomas Nelson, 1998) brings to life the usually ebullient but currently down-in-the-dumps Belle O'Brien. Not only has Belle lost her latest radio job owing to a format change but she really wants to get married and has yet to find the right man. Reluctantly accepting an offer from a former mentor, Belle relocates to Abingdon, VA. Not only is the job a pleasant change, but Belle soon finds herself needing to decide which one of three men is right for her. This bouncy romantic tale of a devout Christian woman looking for love should please most readers seaching for a fun summer read. Recommended. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product DescriptionLove Is on the Air Belle O'Brien, the woman behind the warmest voice in Virginia radio, has one problem: Her oldies show on WPER-FM is a solid-gold hit, but her love life, at thirty-two years and counting, is an off-the-charts disaster. The pickings are slim in small-town Abingdon. Will it be smooth-talking Patrick Reese, the man who launched her radio career a decade earlier? Moody but handsome David Cahill, the chief engineer with a mysterious past and a new life in Christ? Or Matthew the Methodist, her pastor across the street? Surrounded by an on-air cast of colorful characters, Belle's journey toward joy is filled with humor, heartache, and endless surprises. Norah Silver-Smyth, her friend and encourager, will join Belle in discovering that it's never too late to listen to your heart.
