Jane Williams is the happiest woman in New York. She has a dream job, a perfect Manhattan apartment, and a man she wants to marry. Her whole life is mapped out to the finest detail, and things just can’t get any better. But in a New York minute, everything changes. After an evening on the town with a hot Hollywood actor her PR firm is wooing, she wakes up to a day filled with strange occurrences—a weird mark on her face and a red-haired woman who seems to be following her every move. This bizarre day turns increasingly horrible, and over the course of it, Jane loses her boyfriend, her best friend, her job, her home, maybe even her dog. Unsure of why she’s being tested, Jane struggles to hold herself together while her world falls apart. Has God forgotten her?

In this witty and contemporary retelling of the story of Job, Jane discovers what she really wants, after nearly everything she holds dear slips away. Filled with the sophistication and excitement of city life, but sprinkled with humor and strong values, this new novel from the Dayton/Vanderbilt team charms, inspires, and warms the heart.

I had never heard of this book or the authors (I had no idea it was a contemporary retelling of Job), but I found it at a used book store and decided to try it. I’m so glad I did!

This is a fun, clean women’s fiction story with a light Christian thread. There’s plenty of drama and chances for Jane to grow. My only real complaint–I wish there had been more time spent showing the relationship growing between Jane and Coates. I didn’t always see where that was going, but it worked out in the end.

Reminiscent of Tamera Leigh’s contemporary Christian women’s fiction novels. Rated PG. Get your copy here!
