MOMcarcerated Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Mom’s famous last words before running afoul of the law...

“I’ll just have to go to the senior center and find myself ‘an old geezer’ to marry. Then I won’t have to move!”

Mom needs a man around the house again after a few minor mishaps got out of control. The flooding, fire, and killer bees have convinced her grown children that it’s time… and now Mom’s beloved home is up for sale.

Fiercely independent and with a mind of her own, Mom is a spunky widow who wants nothing more than to enjoy her home and garden, do a little crocheting, talk to her dog, order endless products on infomercials, and… count her blessings.

Instead, she finds herself incarcerated. But things are never dull with this lady. She is still stubborn as a mule, very resilient, and even when things look their bleakest, she manages to find a blessing and reminds others to do the same.

Editorial Reviews

Review


"One really can't help but fall in love with Mom, M.R. Abbott's sweet and sometimes forgetful senior... Abbott's plot is action-packed and fun, and the characters are credible and finely crafted. This well-written and engaging novel is most highly recommended." Readers' Favorite - Jack Magnus, reviewer (5-star review)

M.R. Abbott

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

M.R. Abbott has been writing fiction in both screenplay and novel formats since 2010 when she and her husband became empty nesters and moved to Europe. Living in Germany for four years provided time and inspiration to write.

M.R. enjoys research and travel, particularly as it relates to subjects and characters that she develops in her stories. Her faith in God and love of family are recurring themes that are woven in to give audiences and readers that aha moment of personal connection and revelation.

Home is a relative term to M.R. and her husband of forty-one years. They’ve been accused of moving a lot. They do put their wanderlust to good use to visit their five children and eight grandchildren in the states of Nevada, Utah, and Georgia.

While there are many verses that are highlighted in M.R.’s beloved, worn and tattered Bible from the 1970’s, there is one verse that over the years has become her favorite:

“Now glory be to God, who by His mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.” Ephesians 3:20 (TLB)

Wasn’t sure what to expect from a new author’s first book but was pleasantly surprised! Her book kept me engaged with its humor, characters and sub plots. I feel like I would love to have Mom as my neighbor.
If you’re looking for an enjoyable read with lots of twists and turns, you’re sure to like this book.

This was a fun fast read. The characters are well developed and the plot keeps you entertained as well as guessing. I found myself cheering for a couple of the characters and saddened with others. Recommend

This is definitely not one of the best books I’ve read. The reference to the main character mom and her “sassy duck look” was way too repetitive. This one was a hard book to make it through.
