“Love knows nothing but moment to moment. Be honest and true in each one, and expect nothing more.”
It’s Washington, D.C., during the Prohibition and young Monica Bisbaine likes to live fast and loose while writing her “Monkey Business” column for the Capitol Chatter. She enjoys reporting on the local speakeasies, offering readers clues to the illegal establishments as well as her latest fashion choices.
But all that changes when her editor passes away and his nephew, Maximilian Moore, takes over the publication. Max has a heart for God and a heart for publishing all that is pure and of good report, so decides to make some major changes to the tabloid, including “Monkey Business.”
Allison Pittman’s “All for a Story” is a fun read full of great characters. Monica must decide if she wants to continue living her fast-passed, flirty life, or seek a life filled with more substantial meaning — including love from both man and God.
Max, who left his editor position with real-life evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson (whom we met in Pittman’s first installment in this series), to take over the Chatter, must decide if Monica — and love itself — is worth fighting for.
Readers will love Monica, full of moxie and charisma; Max, with his patience and perseverance; sweet, yet wise, Zelda Ovenoff, the cleaning woman at the paper with so much more potential; and Paolo, the six-toed cat. This book also introduces the reader to another real-life character — Miss Alice Reighly, the leader of the Anti-Flirt Society.
“All for a Story” offers great lessons on patience and kindness, finding true love, and allowing God’s love to replace what we have lost in our own lives.
Five stars out of five.
