Engaged

By Julie Arduini

Description:

Trish Maxwell’s back in Speculator Falls with egg on her face and a lot of apologies to make. She left the mountain town for her dream job in New York City, only to come back unemployed. With no prospects, she works at her mom’s department store and makes amends as she finds a new passion creating window displays for Adirondack businesses. She works hard and tries to convince the people of Speculator Falls she’s changed for the better.

As Trish pitches in with community events, she meets paramedic Wayne Peterson, the one man who doesn’t seem to judge her. She even makes friends with Jenna Regan, who helps Trish when people demand to know what’s next in Trish’s life. Living in New York City has been her goal, but the more she’s around Wayne and the Adirondack area, the more she’s drawn to revising her plans. Just when Trish thinks the plan for her life’s coming together, a second chance comes her way that could give her every career goal she’s ever wanted, but threaten to tear her and Wayne apart. Can Trish surrender fears about her future and discover God’s plan for her?

Book Takeaway:

You will find freedom through surrendering your plans for God's.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to close the Surrendering Time Series with a redemptive theme. Trish Maxwell was the mean girl in book 1, ENTRUSTED, and I love that she gets to tell her story in ENGAGED. We can all have second chances, and know the plan for our life when we ask our Heavenly Father for His help.
