A contemporary women’s novel with a fresh take<br />
on love, faith, and family that Emily Giffin calls<br />
“a fabulous debut.”<br />
Growing up, Ellen Carlisle was a Christian: she went to Jesus camp,<br />
downed stale Nilla wafers at Sunday school, and never, ever played<br />
with Ouija boards. Now, years later, when infertility prevents her from<br />
giving her ambitious attorney husband a family, she finds herself on the<br />
brink of divorce, unemployed, and living with her right-wing, Born Again<br />
Christian parents in her suburban New Jersey hometown. There, problems<br />
are public, the past is ever-present, and starting over isn’t easy.<br />
Then Ellen meets a man to whom she believes she can open her<br />
heart, and she begins to think that maybe it’s true what they say, that<br />
everything happens for a reason—until all that was going well starts<br />
going very badly, and Ellen is forced to finally dig down deep to find her<br />
own brand of faith.<br />
“An emotional and satisfying novel that’s as tender as it is funny—<br />
a fabulous debut that’s fresh, honest, and addictive. Don’t miss it!”<br />
—New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin<br />
“A sparkling debut novel about dealing with family and finding love.<br />
An absolute treat!”<br />
—New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich<br />
