Faith is a high school English teacher in
Minnesota. She is going through a bad
patch; her boyfriend of two years has just
dumped her for her oldest friend, and
everyone keeps telling her that she is self-
absorbed. Thinking that they may be right,
she takes another friend’s advice and
moves to Minneapolis to start over.
Ethan has had his share of bad
relationships and is just ending one when
he meets Faith. She is constantly
misunderstanding him and his intentions,
but he is drawn to her just the same.
A young woman tries to start her life over
in a different city, but all of her old
problems follow her, and she develops
some new ones along the way. A crazy
roommate and a stalker are among them.
I really enjoyed Faith’s story and I was
firmly on her side by the end of the book. I
found that the most self-centered bunch of
people surrounded her, from her family to
her friends. The characters were very real,
even if they were not all that likable. Her
phone sex operator/stripper roommate
Missy is very colorful, as is Faith’s sister
Margaret. Ethan is appropriately moody and
sexy, the former boyfriend is sleazy and
pathetic, and her friends are more
interested in themselves than anyone else.
The stalker is a great addition to the story.
Faith’s realization of her faults and that she
is more than everyone thinks she is, makes
a very good story.

Faith is psychic, but she's not surprised that
most people don't believe her. After all, her
powers didn't let her know about bruising her
tailbone, being abducted, or, well, any of the
things that plague her life after she moves to
Minneapolis.
Faith needs a fresh start after her boyfriend
dumps her for her best friend, so she follows
the advice of her friend Carolyn and moves to
Minneapolis. Only things don't work out quite as
planned. Carolyn is having issues with her own
boyfriend, jobs are difficult to find, and when
Faith finds an apartment, it turns out her
roommate is a phone sex operator. And then
there are the men who come into her life...
There's the sexy mechanic, the friendly
neighbor, and the cute coffee-shop patron. At
first they all seem wonderful, but they all have
issues of their own, and one of them is stalking
Faith. She has to try to figure out who she can
trust before she can really find a new start.
Following My Toes is a funny, believable story
about learning to live and love and let go.
Faith's problems are ones that the reader can
relate to, things that happen to everyone at
some point in their life, and that makes her a
character that's very easy to connect to. The
first-person narrative really drew me into the
story, and made me feel as though Faith were
talking to me.
I really enjoyed reading Following My Toes. It is
well done and light-hearted without being overly
humorous or fake. I look forward to seeing
more from this author.
Armchair Interviews says: It is a delightful, quick
read.
