Paperback. Zustand: Good. When, after forty, Carrie finds herself not only dating again, but also contemplating marriage to the cutest boy in the world, she realizes how much she must rely on her imperfect faith in her God, in herself, and in her humorous outlook on life's stumbling blocks. Though always one to scream Go big or go home to the world, a few of life's unexpected blessings bring her to her knees-dating, then marriage, when she's already decided she would never do that mess again; becoming a stepmother to a teenage girl when she can barely take care of a sink full of dishes herself; and ditching the bustling big-city life that offered her constant entertainment for the simple life in a small border town that offers her not even a good taco.

Always remember, from the grit comes a pearl.…

And what is art, anyway.…
