Fiction. Literature. HTML:

Betty Lynne Davidson is planning her husband's funeral while overlooking one thing: he's not dead.

When Suzanne Mullins, forty-two, gets the call from her father to come back home to Texas because her mother has gone off the deep end, she knows it will mean having to look at the faulty foundations of their marriage as well as her own. Betty Lynne has always upheld a perfect facade of home and family, and Suzanne has followed suit. But her life with husband Mike and son Oliver is cracking under the pressure of its own unspoken history.

Looking her past in the eye once and for all, Suzanne hopes that trusting in God's love and mercy will set all of this craziness straight—even if it does mean having to watch her father give the eulogy at his own funeral.

Endorsements

"What a hoot! Leanna Ellis has a gift for storytelling and for quirky, fun, eccentric characters entirely true to the human experience."

Arlene James

Author of His Small-Town Girl

"An entertaining tale, full of rich characters and a deep lesson about healing the past. Leanna Ellis is on my reading list from here on out."

Rachel Hauck

Author of Sweet Caroline and Diva NashVegas

"A wacky, off-the-wall read that's spiritually right on target!"

Cathy Marie Hake

Author of Forevermore and Fancy Pants

"In a smooth pairing of wit and grit, Leanna Ellis weaves a tale of flawed relationships and crippling regrets with wonderfully timed comedic threads. A fresh, clever look at the audacity of love that forgives."

A strange book. Susannah has recieved a call from her father saying her mother has gone crazy-again. The connection is so bad that Susannah cannot hear everything her father has to say so she decides to drive home to Texas, a place she has been able to avoid for several years. When she arrives home to find her mother planning her father's funeral, she worries that her mother has actually gone off the deep end and killed her father. When she discovers that her father is alive and has left her mother and that, to save face, her mother has told the community that her husband has died, she knows her mother is nuts. ( )

This was just an ok book. The storyline was interesting and the characters were funny. I'd like to read more by this author. ( )

Normally I write about good books, this one does not fit into that category. After a few chapters it was set aside. Not worth the time. ( )

Started ok..... but quickly lost me. The troubled marriage and Christain themes contradicted one another to much for me to stick this one out! Sorry. ( )

Lookin’ Back Texas was only my second foray into the Christian Fiction genre and, I’m sorry to say, it was not for me.

I enjoyed the idea of Betty Lynne throwing a funeral for her (not dead) husband because she wishes he was dead after he leaves their marriage. That’s funny! I also groove on a good cast of quirky, small town, southern characters & juicy family secrets. Unfortunately, the Christian aspect of this book did not flow easily into the story. To me, the religious statements seemed forced and awkward. I found myself distracted, rolling my eyes and skimming quite a bit. ( )
