Synopsis

Bookends establishes popular speaker and author Liz Curtis Higgs as one of the strongest voices in Christian Fiction. Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people -- of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town -- could possibly be. She's a first-class neatnik; he's a world-class slob. She's into saving historical relics; he's into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this historian and this land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged ... or unsmitten!

About this title

About the Author:

Liz Curtis Higgs is the award-winning author of ten books-six humorous, inspiring nonfiction books for women, including Help! I'm Laughing and I Can't Get Up, and four Gold Medallion-winning children's books, beginning with The Pumpkin Patch Parable. As a busy conference speaker, Liz has entertained more than 1,200 audiences in nearly all 50 states with her original humor and heartfelt encouragement. Her newsletter, The Laughing Heart, has 16,000 readers worldwide. She's also a columnist for Today's Christian Woman, a consulting editor for The Joyful Noiseletter, and a member of the National Speakers Association, the Fellowship of Merry Christians, and Romance Writers of America. Before launching her speaking and writing career, Liz spent ten years as a popular radio personality in five states, gathering humorous material about life behind the microphone. Mixed Signals is her first novel.

From Library Journal:

Emilie Getz returns to Lititz, PA, to write a scholarly history of the 200-year-old Moravian church she attended as a child. At a holiday service, Jonas Fielding sits next to her and antagonizes her from the first with his casual dress, unshaven face, and familiar attitude. Nevertheless, these two strong-willed people begin to explore a mutual fascination. Then their careers collide: while Jonas wraps up the construction of a golf course, Emilie is convinced some evidence she needs is under the 18th hole. A minor flaw in the plot has Emilie's broken collar bone forgotten after a couple of pages. Higgs's (Mixed Signals) characters are far from perfect (or kind), but their courtship is one of the more unusual ones in Christian fiction. Emilie's reaffirmation of her relationship with Christ will appeal to readers.
