Publisher's Synopsis
Linda G. Hodge brilliantly takes a magnifying glass and examines the difficult experiences women courageously face, while attempting to meet the demanding needs in their lives. In this self-help manual, Woman Under Construction (WUC), scheduled for a July 20 release, Hodge is the worksite manager, who compares the fundamentals of renovating a home to that of rebuilding a woman's spirit. This thought-provoking, page-turner incorporates a plethora of home improvement-driven anecdotes, stories of hope and magical metaphors, along with Godly wisdom and Agape love. To help illustrate the great deal of work women often put into concealing attitudes, hurts and unhealthy emotions, Hodge meticulously describes the arduous construction process of "masking" walls. She details how workers first place sheet rock on a wall, fill in cracks with masking tape, and then apply a joint compound to patch up holes and blemishes. In another intriguing tale, Hodge recounts the story of walking through a home still under construction, where she passes by scattered piles of straight and "bent" nails. All of the nails are ostensibly covered by grime (Hodge views it as sin of all sorts), before finally stopping to take a closer look at a particular nail. The author then articulates how the Master Builder picks up defective or "bent" nails, dusts them off, and hammers them back into place.
