Perfectly Imperfect

By Jill Boyce

Description:

Dr. Blaire Cunningham loves high heels and coffee and hates germs and disorder. After a great personal loss, she decides to pursue a career in medicine. However, Blaire now faces losing her job, apartment, and a relationship due to her germaphobia.

Blaire decides to flee New York City to volunteer at a rural clinic in Guatemala. She hopes to regain her infectious disease fellowship position by demonstrating to her former boss that she can handle her job’s unpredictable aspects. While in Guatemala, she meets Felipe Martinez, a handsome but aloof medic who runs the clinic. Felipe has a painful past and has spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it.

Will these two imperfect people release their fears and trust God to heal their hearts and open themselves to love and restoration?

Book Takeaway:

God's love can heal our hearts and carry us through fearful circumstances.

Why the author wrote this book:

I love the Shopaholic series and Monk and thought of this idea pre-pandemic. I wanted to explore how our fears impact our daily choices. Juxtaposing a perfectionistic, germaphobic person against the backdrop of encountering a myriad of diseases and disorder on a daily basis provided ample opportunity for conflict. I tried to demonstrate a significant change in the character arc throughout the story.
