Wish You Were Here

By Beth K. Vogt

Description:

Allison Denman is supposed to get married in five days, but everything is all wrong. The huge wedding. The frothy dress. And the groom.

Still, kissing the groom’s brother in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such a mistake? It seems Allison’s life is nothing but mistakes at this point. And pulling a “Runaway Bride” complete with stealing, er, borrowing her best friend’s car doesn’t seem to solve her problems.

Can Allison find her way out of this mess? Maybe she just needs to stop orchestrating everything. Allison prefers being the one in control, and giving it up is not going to be easy. But to find her way again, she will have to believe that God has a plan for her and find the strength to let Him lead.

Book Takeaway:

Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop, step back and take a look at the choices we've made -- and why we've made them -- rather than continuing to keep moving in the same, pre-programmed direction. And sometimes the "truths" we believe about God can be w-r-o-n-g.

Why the author wrote this book:

Wish You Were Here is the result of God using a season of burnout in my life to redirect me from writing and editing nonfiction to writing fiction.
