Allison Denman is supposed to get married in five days, but everything is all wrong. The huge wedding. The frothy dress. And the groom. Still, kissing the groom’s brother in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such a mistake? It seems Allison’s life is nothing but mistakes at this point. And pulling a “Runaway Bride” complete with stealing, er, borrowing her best friend’s car doesn’t seem to solve her problems. Can Allison find her way out of this mess? Maybe she just needs to stop orchestrating everything. Allison prefers being the one in control, and giving it up is not going to be easy. But to find her way again, she will have to believe that God has a plan for her and find the strength to let Him lead.

Lisa’s Thoughts:

I have the privilege of calling Beth friend. I met her in person at the beginning of her fiction career. When she called with news about her book deal, I happy danged (danced) with her. Then when I had the opportunity to read Wish You Were Here, I cried. I cried for my friend’s writing dream, but the beauty in her novel massaged my heart in a way that had me laughing in places, crying in others. Beth takes a Runaway Bride-type plot and twists it. And she adds a deeper spiritual element that gives the reader a wonderful message of grace. Beth adds a couple of unique elements to her story that delighted me. And her characters….wow. Love them. I could see myself being friends with Allison if she were a living, breathing person. And what’s not to love about hunky Daniel. Wish You Were Here is a sweet story of reconciliation and second chances.

Beth K. Vogt provides her readers with a happily ever after woven through with humor, reality, and God’s lavish grace. She’s a non-fiction author and editor who said she’d never write fiction. She’s the wife of an Air Force physician (now in solo practice) who said she’d never marry a doctor-or anyone in the military. She’s a mom of four who said she’d never have kids. Beth has discovered that God’s best often waits behind the doors marked “Never.” She writes contemporary romance because she believes there’s more to happily ever after than the fairy tales tell us. Beth earned a journalism degree from San Jose State University and met her husband Rob when he knocked her down at a karate studio. They’ve been married for 31 years. They have four children, ranging in ages from 28, 25, 23 and – thanks to a funny thing happening on their way to the empty nest-a 10-year-old. The Vogt Team, which now includes a “daughter-in-love” and “son-in-love,” enjoys hiking and camping in Colorado. Read more about Beth at her website: http://bethvogt.com
