Publisher's summary

Capri McAllister took her law degree and career into her hands and carved out a business as a lobbyist in the rough, competitive concrete jungle of Washington, DC's Capitol Hill often cutthroat society. She is young, not yet 30, but she is made of stern stuff. She loves her multicultural family fiercely, but she would not crumble under someone's attempt to intimidate her into dropping certain clients even if it means disgracing her family's good name.

Aerospace engineer and UCLA professor Dr. Tate Kennedy didn't want for much except to see his dream of a home in outer space become a reality. With his genius-level IQ, he need only convince the US Congress to properly fund his SPACEHOME project and to be among the first to launch into space to lay the foundation for future generations to build on.

His childhood friend, Capri, using her talents as a lobbyist, could be the link he needs to get the Congress and the president of the United States to step up and fund his project. When Capri and Tate team up, their efforts are hindered by elements who have deep pockets and a hidden agenda; one that may be potentially more dangerous and deadly than a space shuttle launch.

...finding true love when she least expects it.

I enjoyed the book. it is a nuanced depiction of a successful woman finding true love when she least expects it. Woven throughout the book are drama, some intrigue, and lots of wonderful supporting characters. The only disappointment for me was the narration. I am sure the narrator did his best, however this particular book was just too much for him. The beauty of the dulcet tones of the Caribbean were mangled by his poor attempt at Island accents. At other times his reading seemed a bit flat.

Excellent

Intriguing story of Capri who is a lobbyist. She has a strong will and ideas especially with her family. When a childhood friend, Tate, joins her with his ideas of getting funding from Congress. Together they face strong opposition and hidden agendas. Well done in the plot and with the Narration by Login, given audio for my voluntary review

Too much background information!

There is such a thing as too much background info. I love this entire series. My only complaint is that with SO many names and backstories it’s too much to keep track of exactly where everyone fits. It’s just way too wordy. Or maybe the monotone sound of the narrator makes it worse.

Great Read

A Different Frame of Mind (Family Reunion: Wisdom of the Ancestors #12) was a great read by Ann Jeffries. Capri McAllister too her career into her hands and became a lobbyist in the rough. She loves her multicultural family, but will not allow someone to attempt to intimidate her into dropping certain clients. Dr. Tate Kennedy is an aerospace engineer and UCLA professor who wants to see his dream of a home in outer space. The thing standing in his way is convincing the US Congress to properly fund his SPACEHOME project and be the first to launch into space. His childhood friend, Capri, could use her talents as a lobbyist to get his project funded. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.
