Publisher Description
I'm a P.K., preacher's kid (or if I want to get fancy, a T.O., theologian's offspring). I grew up afraid of my own allowance….
So when over $20 million falls into her lap, Cassia Carr views her Midas touch as a cross, not a blessing–and certainly doesn't anticipate the difficulty of giving it all away!
And it's hard enough to gauge romantic feelings without the chaos of a major windfall. Her globetrotting neighbor, Adam Cavanaugh, seems interested–but in Cassia or her fortune? When Adam abruptly disappears, should Cassia forget him or follow her heart to an unknown, life-changing destination?
About the author
Judy Kaye, a voracious reader throughout her childhood, still likes to "get lost in a good story, a well-planned fantasy" – but these days, that usually means she's writing it herself. She's a much-published author of romances, mysteries and young-adult fiction. Judy lives in North Dakota with her husband (her "real-life her"), two daughters and once cat (who sleeps on her desk while she types).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Cassia Carr's office mates take up a collection to buy a joint lottery ticket, Cassia, a Scripture-spouting pastor's daughter who hates gambling and would never dream of playing Lotto, ponies up five bucks, mistakenly thinking she is contributing to a present for a colleague's baby shower. When she and her co-workers actually win, our leading lady determines to give away her share a staggering $20 million. Charitable organizations, and a few hucksters posing as such, queue up for her handouts, and Cassia must figure out where God would have her donate her ill-gotten gains. Meanwhile, there's the matter of Cassia's heart, as a trio of suitors vie for her affections. This subplot yields no surprises: Cassia falls for Adam, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who just happens to have fallen away from Christianity. Predictably, Adam finds his way back to the faith, and the two pair off happily. Although this is standard-formula Christian chick lit, Baer's reputation bolstered by the popular novel The Whitney Chronicles means that this new novel is likely to sell briskly, especially since the eponymous Whitney makes an appearance among its cast of supporting characters.
