Have you ever discovered a job you didn’t know existed through reading fiction?
I created this series of posts as a way to challenge myself to find Christian fiction books with female main characters specifically who work in more unusual jobs. In this way, I would discover new authors & new occupations and even learn a little behind the scenes of some roles through the stories.. This list is a work in progress and I hope that it will be useful.
