Catt Chasing
Page 22
Then again, for all she knew, he just might have meant it when he said he loved her, and it had nothing to do with feeling obligated or guilty or the need to protect her. And for all she knew, Jamal Ford just might be the one. Even if he wasn’t, it was worth a shot, right?
Catt peeked out of her office at Jamal tending to the beakers. He was fine, and there were definitely worse ways to spend her summer than traveling with the man she adored.
A minute later, Catt joined Jamal in the lab with a smile on her face. “So . . . when do we leave for Cali?”
Reader Discussion Questions
1. Do you think that Catt being overweight is significant to the story, or would the book have had the same impact regardless of her size? Explain.
2. Is Catt genuinely a spiritual person, or does she use religion as an excuse to isolate herself and to avoid dealing with her problems?
3. Do you think Eldon was sincere about his feelings for Catt, or was she just a pawn in his pursuit of becoming the pastor of Faith Temple?
4. Should Jeremiah have accepted some of the blame for Catt’s near-rape by Eldon? Why or why not?
5. Do you think Jamal’s spiritual transformation is real, or was he just caught up in the moment or succumbing to pressure from Catt?
6. Is Jeremiah controlling, or does he simply want what’s best for his daughter? Does he seem spiritually grounded enough to pastor a church?
7. If you were in Catt’s position at the time, would you have aborted your child? Why or why not?
8. Should Catt have taken Jamal back after he rejected her because of her weight? Why or why?
9. Which character do you think evolved the most by the end of the story? How so?
10. Do you consider Catt and Jamal to be “equally yoked” to each other? Why or why not?
