Anna Smith--wife of Martin Smith, lead singer for the now-defunct U.K. Christian band Delirious--offers Meet Mrs. Smith, an account of her life with Smith and the band.

Through most of the book, Smith shares about her budding romance and the early days of her marriage. She also writes about her daily life and the ups and downs of her numerous pregnancies.

As the Smiths’ family grows, so does their vision to begin a new life reaching out to impoverished communities around the world. While at times Smith struggled with feeling alone during her husband’s international travels or in understandstanding the things that burdened his heart, she stayed strong, trusting the Lord to open her eyes to the same things—and God was faithful.

Mothers will relate to the stories in Smith’s debut book, as she leads them along her journey from newlywed to mother of six, and sees her family work together to make a difference.
