Debut author Sarah Healy has written such a great book, and I’m laughing kind of because of the play on her last name – because Can I Get an Amen? is kind of a ‘healing’ book. I’m not quite through with it but it’s a charming read, and my pal Emily Giffin calls it "an emotional and satisfying novel that's as tender as it is funny... fresh, honest, and addictive." So you know if it's got Em's stamp of approval, it's fabulous!
I’m in love with Ellen who gets dumped by her husband because of their infertility problems and she finds herself back at home with her very God-loving, God-fearing mom, who spurts phrases about the Lord every other sentence, and suggests that Jesus will show Ellen the way.
With a gay brother (how does her mother deal with THAT?) and a sister who couldn’t get the hell outta there fast enough, Ellen’s family has already won me over. I can’t wait to find out what happens when this new man comes into Ellen’s life, or what happens when the dirt bag of a husband who ditched her realizes he made the stupidest mistake of his life!
Here’s the trailer for the book:
And, if you’re so inclined, you really must read Sarah’s Modern Love essay. It’s stunning: When the Words Don’t Fit.
To win a copy of Can I Get an Amen?, which is not a preachy religious book, it just has the theme of religion in it, tell me if you grew up a certain religion, or if you practice a religion now. You don’t have to go into any other specifics. I grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school for 11 years, and now our family attends a Lutheran church.
