The Perfect Life blog tour

March 10, 2008 By Robin Lee Hatcher

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?


My Bio:

Robin Lee Hatcher discovered her vocation as a novelist after many years of reading everything she could put her hands on, including the backs of cereal boxes and ketchup bottles. The winner of the Christy Award for Excellence in Christian Fiction (Whispers from Yesterday), the RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance (Patterns of Love and The Shepherd’s Voice), two RT Career Achievement Awards (Americana Romance and Inspirational Fiction), and the RWA Lifetime Achievement Award, Robin is the author of over 50 novels, including Catching Katie, named one of the Best Books of 2004 by the Library Journal.
Robin enjoys being with her family, spending time in the beautiful Idaho outdoors, reading books that make her cry, and watching romantic movies. She is passionate about the theater, and several nights every summer, she can be found at the outdoor amphitheater of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, enjoying Shakespeare under the stars. She makes her home outside of Boise, sharing it with Poppet the high-maintenance Papillon.

    You’re on my Pix-N-Pens blog this week, Robin. http://www.pixnpens.com. Come visit any time! I’d love to have you as a guest judge for one of our future contests, if you could squeeze in the time.
    I loved this book – it’s one of those books you curl up with on a rainy day and read all the way through! 🙂

    Robin – I really appreciate the depth of thought and feeling that this book provokes. You have done a fabulous job of exploring just how weak the foundations of marriage can be, even when the couple believes the relationship is perfect. This book will cause readers to examine their own lives and (hopefully) strengthen their marriages to improve the always fragile basis of trust.
    I’ve posted a review on my blog, http://hisreadinglist.blogspot.com
    Thanks for the opportunity to read and review this book!
    Susan
