The Secret Life of Becky Miller by Sharon Hinck

Book 1 of Becky Miller

Summary: 

Faster than a speeding minivan, able to leap piles of laundry in a single bound, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s . . . Supermom!

Becky Miller is a young mom who wants to do Big Things for God. Her vivid daydreams help her cope with the pressure to be a Wonderful Wife and Marvelous Mother. Yet the tape going through her mind continues to play:

Your mission: support your husband when he loses his job, nurture an eccentric circle of friends, raise perfect Christian children, cook delicious meals in a spotless kitchen, lead the women's ministry at church, and live a life filled with Meaning and Purpose. 

How does this supermom react when her grand plans start to fall apart? What will it take for her to turn off the tape and listen to God's voice instead?

Opening Lines: 

A subtle change in air pressure was my only warning. One millisecond later, a foot flew out of the darkness toward my head. 

I backflipped out of range and reached for my sword. The honed blade flickered in the starlight. Determination raced through me as air rushed in my lungs. My family had guarded the imperial treasure for generations. I wouldn't allow this attacker to get past me to the palace. ..

..."Mommy! Cookies now." I snapped out of my daydream. Three-year-old Kelsey grabbed my sweater and hung on. All my clothes tended to list to the right these days, having been tugged relentlessly by my preschooler.
