About the book: Pound Foolish | Book Four in the Windy City Neighbors series (Castle Rock Creative, October 2014)

Greg Singer coordinates consumer sports shows for powerboats, four wheelers, snowmobiles, and jet skis—macho toys for outdoor men like himself. But the job puts tremendous stress on his marriage with Nicole, who for the first time notices the handsome lawyer at the end of the block. “Greener pastures?” When the recession hits Greg’s industry, he thinks the crisis is merely an opportunity for God to bless him with unmatched prosperity, a promise he hears preached each Sunday, and he steps out in bold faith . . . But is he being “pound foolish”?

The fourth in the Windy City Neighbors series, Pound Foolishexplores the economic upheaval and uncertainties challenging every family. Intersecting with Penny Wise (book three), the Jacksons employ the innovating storytelling technique of “parallel novels.” Though each book follows its own drama and story arc, the characters’ lives become intertwined and affect one another. Pound Foolish returns us to Beecham Street—a typical American neighborhood . . . where a growing friendship brings new meaning to prosperity.

My thoughts:  I am in love with the Windy City Neighbors and really enjoyed this the 4th book of the series, Pound Foolish.  It’s a great read.  I think I could relate to the main character because I too am a stay at home homeschool mom.  I know the stresses of it.  I know the feelings of isolation you have and the absolute lack of time to yourself as well as adult interaction.  Oh and my husband is self employed.  This is a great read.  You really get sucked into the characters.  You can’t put the book down!  This is the only series I have read by the Jacksons and I can’t wait to find some of their previous works to read as well because I know they are going to be just as captivating and appealing to me as these.  Definitely a book you should check out.
