By Bethany Turner

Book Description

Sarah Hollenbeck faces an unexpected dilemma when her newfound Christian faith collides with her successful career as a romance novelist. After embracing Christianity, she discovers that her previous life as a bestselling author of steamy fiction creates complicated tensions with her spiritual journey.

Caught between two worlds, Sarah must navigate the challenging terrain of reconciling her past work with her evolving beliefs. Her publisher expects another provocative novel, her devoted readers anticipate the passionate stories they love, and she questions whether her church community would approve of her literary legacy. The situation becomes even more complex when romantic feelings develop between Sarah and her pastor, adding another layer of uncertainty to her already complicated circumstances.

This contemporary exploration examines the real struggles that emerge when someone attempts to align their professional life with their spiritual transformation. Rather than offering simple solutions, the story delves into the genuine conflicts that arise when faith intersects with practical realities like contracts, financial obligations, and established relationships.

Through Sarah's journey, readers encounter an honest portrayal of Christian living that acknowledges the messy, uncomfortable questions that don't always have clear answers. The narrative addresses themes of personal integrity, community acceptance, and the ongoing process of spiritual growth while maintaining an engaging, humorous perspective on these weighty matters.

Turner presents a debut that refuses to shy away from the thorny complexities of faith-based decision making.
