Monica gave up her baby twenty five years ago. Monica
thinks about her everyday, what is doing, what has she
become. Little does she know she is about to find out.
Jessica wants to be a contestant on the reality show LAST
FAMILY STANDING. Who she invites is a surprise to
everyone. The partner that she wants is the women who gave
her up for adoption. The reason, she wants to meet her.
But does she have something else on her mind.
Monica is not sure that she wants to be on this show.
What
a way to meet her daughter. Pushed by her best friend
Jules, she decides to do it. Monica and Jessica have many
obstacles to over come. Not just on the show, but why
Monica gave her up.
Monica never realized what a klutz she is. It never
fails,
after each obstacle; Monica gets hurt even bringing
Jessica
along for the pain. Can these two end up being the LAST
FAMILY STANDING?
Jennifer Allee has done something that I think no one has
ever done. Jennifer Allee combines a great story with a
reality
show theme. I am not one to watch reality TV, but if any
of the shows were like LAST FAMILY STANDING, I would watch
it. It has
its heartwarming parts, along with humor. There are a few
things I didn't expect.
Jennifer Allee describes what contestants have to go
though in
this game. I am sure some it does happen in the shows
that are on now. LAST FAMILY STANDING is a great book,
and I would like to see a follow
up to see what happen after the show ended.
Twenty-five years ago, Monica Stanton gave up a baby girl
for adoption. Now, the thing Monica didn’t dare hope for
has
happened: Jessica has reentered her life . . . and brought
a
little drama and competition with her. Jessica is willing
to
meet her birth mother, but she wants the reunion to air on
a
reality TV show. Monica would rather chew glass than
appear
on TV. But she’ll swallow her pride—and a few other
unsavory
items—if that’s what it takes to reconnect.
As if getting to know her grown daughter while competing
on
a remote island isn’t hard enough, Monica is further
confused when Jessica’s long-lost birth father shows up,
complicating both her relationship with her daughter and
the
attraction Monica has to the hunky reality show host. The
fruit-basket upset of emotions, accusations, and regrets
might make for good TV, but will it destroy the family in
the process?
