Sydney seems to have it all-a lucrative career, a comfortable life, and a man who looks good on paper-until the Catholic Church, looking to repair some serious image problems, approaches the ad agency she works for to create a positive campaign. Sydney, told by her boss it's her account to lose, stumbles through the novel trying to figure out how to sell religion to a soulless society. She begins a one-sided argument with the Lord himself via riotous, pleading e-mails, all the time asking why He\/She had to enter her neat, secular life and make such a mess of it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplicating things are her best friend Anna's on-again, off-again wedding; the disturbingly handsome priest serving as the church's liaison; and Jake, the new guy, who looks good in real\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003elife but comes equipped with all the real-life complications. Susi Rajah's wickedly funny debut novel introduces an unforgettable new voice in fiction and gives us a ribald, self-deprecating young woman who eventually discovers that love requires even more faith than religion.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151231336688,"sku":"9781596918887","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596918887_p0.jpg?v=1763813975","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596918887","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
