The Perfect Life blog tour

My latest novel, The Perfect Life , is the featured book this Monday through Wednesday on the CFBA. I guess I might as well participate, too. Yes?

What Readers Have Said:

"The Perfect Life had a riveting beginning. I was dying to know what had actually happened. Then it looked like the mystery was over and I wasn’t sure I wanted to finish the story. However, I decided to give it a chance and am glad I did because the story didn’t shake out the way it seemed like it would at first. It’s very hard to sustain tension and genuine spiritual struggles in a novel about marriage relationships without it getting annoying for the reader due to the harping and bitterness that tends to develop within a storyline where trust is broken in marriage. However, the author does a fabulous job with this novel and not once did I want to slap the heroine, as is often the case. The tension in The Perfect Life was realistically done and believable. The spiritual arc was fabulous and extremely honest. In short, I loved this story and highly recommend it, especially for couples who have discovered a lack of trust in their relationship." — via email 3/19/08
"I literally finished The Perfect Lifeon my lunch break at school this morning. Though Brad and Kat, along with their daughters faced incredible obstacles; I must confess I was glad that Brad was not unfaithful. Like many women, I’ve dealt with this on multiple levels with family, friends, colleagues, and personally. It was refreshing to read your latest work. I would have been content even if a divorce came into Brad and Kat’s life; just knowing Brad had kept his vows. I hope that doesn’t sound ludicrous. As always your work inspired and held me from word one. It’s a shoo-in for my book club." — via email 3/3/08

The Perfect Life:
Katherine Clarkson has the perfect life. Married to Brad, a loving and handsome husband, respected in their church and the community. Two grown daughters on the verge of starting families of their own. A thriving ministry. Good friends. A comfortable life.
She has it all–until the day a reporter appears with shocking allegations. Splashed across the local news are accusations of Brad’s financial impropriety at his foundation and worse, an affair with a former employee. Without warning, Katherine’s marriage is shattered and her family torn apart. The reassuring words she’s spoken to many brokenhearted women over the years offer little comfort now.
Her world spinning, Katherine wonders if she can find the truth in the chaos that consumes her. How can she survive the loss of what she thought was the perfect life?
