Lauren tries to be the perfect pastor’s wife for her husband, Solomon, and his large, successful church, but she feels further from him, God, and happiness than ever. When Lauren is left a confused and grieving widow, she moves in with her best friend to figure out what comes next. Though she doesn’t want her life to include any more men, celebrities, or churches, God has a different plan.
Lauren’s and Aaron’s faith journeys are as much a part of the story as the romance. While the strong Christian themes are obvious, they are authentic and not preachy. The foreshadowing is as subtle as a brick thrown through a window, but the story flows well and the characters are relatable. I enjoyed every chapter of this book.
That majority of characters are Canadian. The mature content rating is for mild innuendo, kissing, and mentions of drug and alcohol use, including overdose. The violence rating is for mild car accident details and jokes about murder.
