Other Versions of this Book: Paperback
Book Description:
spin-ster: noun
1:an unmarried woman or a woman for whom marriage seems dubious
2: a woman who spins or weaves for a living
Her mother, sister and friends (?) fear spinsterhood may be the fate of thirty-year-old Whitney Blake. And while she doesn't believe she'll actually end up weaving her own tablecloths, Whitney does wonder whether Mr. Right will ever arrive, despite her mom's adoption of matchmaking as the prime project of her "postmenopausal zest."
Maybe Whitney needs to be more proactive. And so she starts a journal, stating her goals: "This month--Lose two pounds (sensibly), stand up straight with my stomach sucked in so I appear tall and thin, don't let my mother drive me crazy (a particularly difficult project). GET ORGANIZED. Start by cleaning closets. Have friends over for dinner. Pray more, obsess less."
It must be working--suddenly there's more than one man in Whitney's life. But are any of them marriage material, or is "fabulous, single, Christian man" an oxymoron?

This is a fun, upbeat book about a woman who shows her "real" self to us. She shares her struggles and her joys as she deals with her "body fat" and her desire to live a Godly life with her human flaws.

This was a WONDERFUL book. I loved reading it and was sad to see it end.
Anna W. (Fabulous! My first of Judy Baer, and not my last!
An enjoyable romp through a year in Whitney's life. Very similar to Bridget Jones's Diary, but with some nice surprises. Recommended.
