Book Description
Last week I turned 29. Along with the usual homemade Victoria sponge, helium balloon and Selfridges gift vouchers, my Mum's birthday present to me was the threat that if I'm not engaged by my 30th birthday, she's sending me off to the Motherland to find a fresh-from-the-Desh husband When Zara's Mum puts together the most archaic of arranged marriage resources (not exactly the romcom-worthy love story she had envisioned for herself), she is soon exhausted by her family's failed attempts to set her up with every vaguely suitable Abdul, Ahmed and Farook that they can find. Zara decides to take matters into her own hands. How hard can it be to find a husband at twenty-nine? With just a year to go, time is of the essence, so Zara joins a dating app and signs up for speed dating. She meets Hamza, a kind British Egyptian who shares her values and would make a good husband. Zara knows that not all marriages are based on love (or lust) at first sight but struggles with the lack of spark. Particularly when she can't stop thinking of someone else . . . As her next birthday looms, and family pressure intensifies, Zara knows she must make a decision, but will she make the right one?

Yet when Hannah ventures to Timber Bay, Michigan, the Walkers aren't the "perfect" she was thinking of (the mother's poker playing is only the start—"little" Danny isn't little in any way. And he's also frustrating and handsome and…). With days before Granny's Grains' CEO shows up for the meet-and-greet, can Hannah turn the Walker clan into something they aren't? Or will she change to fit into something she's always wanted, like a real family? And will Danny Walker be the one to show her the way.?

Pages : 198

Book Description
Lisa was a public relations director and event planner in D.C. A Christian-in-name-only, Lisa dated freely in spite of her insecurities. An Atheist. A Catholic. A Quaker. A Preacher. A Jew. Some gave her the answers she yearned for, while others left her with more questions. As Lisa’s star rose in the political movement, her quest to find her Mr. Righteous led her down a path of religious confusion and discovery. Lisa navigates her journey with humor and humility. Will she find her soul mate or save her soul? Is it too much to ask for both? "Lisa De Pasquale is one of the best conservative writers out there, but this book isn’t about politics. It’s a fascinating and extremely personal account of her dating life, her massive insecurities and her mostly ineffective search for God – until one man accidentally reveals the truth to her. I won’t tell you how, or I’d ruin the ending. This is a true Christian story, disguised as racy 'Chick Lit.'" - Ann Coulter, New York Times Bestselling Author and Columnist "With an entirely fresh perspective and a voice that's humorous, hopeful, and, at times, absolutely heartbreaking, Lisa De Pasquale's quest to find Him is a must-read. I loved Finding Mr. Righteous, agonizing over the rough patches along with De Pasquale and cheering her on throughout, and I can't recommend this book highly enough!" - Jen Lancaster, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Tao of Martha and Here I Go Again "Finding Mr. Righteous is a true page-turner that will touch many lives. That's because it's a very sharply told, sometimes hilarious, sometimes sordid, but always bravely honest account of one woman's search -- in all the wrong places -- for connection, meaning, peace, and true love. By refusing to sugar-coat the sorrows and humiliations of her wanderings, her journey's end is all the more wonderful, powerful, moving, and sweet." - Eric Metaxas, New York Times Bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
