Already coping with spiritual and emotional abuse, Deirdre is diagnosed with breast cancer. Just before undergoing a mastectomy, she hears the Lord tell her to be his Amazon. Relieved to learn he's not asking her to be an enormous river, she fulfills the calling in unexpected ways, showing God's grace to her fellow patients and the homeless men in her town. Using the weapons of prayer and forgiveness, and with the support of faithful friends, Deirdre, God's Amazon, is in the fight of her life.
Commendation Quotes: " Be My Amazon is brave, honest, and subversive. In the face of hateful legalism, Deirdre, breast-cancer warrior and survivor of spiritual abuse, befriends the marginalized and fellow chemo patients with growing grace and love. Beautifully and skillfully written with laugh-aloud satire and tears, Be My Amazon will steal your heart. This is life-inspired fiction at its very best."
--Rosanne Hawke, author of Taj and the Great Camel Trek
" Be My Amazon is that happily unexpected book that hits the reader in several places at once. Is it an Ann Lamott-styled biographical novel? Is it a mystery set in a cozy little suburban church? Is it a modern take on C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters? Or is it a little of all the above? W. A. Noble's precise, well-crafted prose takes the reader into the life of a well-established congregation that suddenly has to face a challenge that could tear it apart. It's funny, insightful, and--blessedly--full of grace."
--Robert F. Darden, professor emeritus of journalism, public relations, and new media, Baylor University
"W. A. Noble hit a home run with this gem. In a humorous and naively vulnerable way, the protagonist manages to inadvertently wade through the thorniest of modern church issues while undergoing a tidal wave of personal suffering. Her book holds some surprises as it skillfully addresses homelessness, spiritual ignorance, an antagonist's self-righteous insolence, modern day medicine for believers, the deceptive lure of supposed healing or deliverance ministries, and other matters."
