Forgiving St. Christopher

Lila Marling is drowning in shallow water.

On the verge of supermodel stardom, she's convinced her boyfriend, Dutch, will love her now. He's a genius brand builder who's brightening Lila's spotlight, but as she works to keep her glossy image propped up, the crippling anxiety attacks she thought she'd outgrown return with force.

What if… What if… What if…

Racing to keep up with her relentless schedule, she can't outrun the dogged feeling that something's wrong. With her.

When her beloved grandmother, Nana, has an aneurysm, Lila's world is fractured and she’s forced back home to face her orphan past. There, she meets Luke, a photographer who challenges her to see past life's fantasies by viewing the ordinary through the lens of a camera. 

As Nana flutters between life and death, Lila must face the truth she's been avoiding: There's no such thing as protection from human frailty. 

Ultimately, Forgiving St. Christopher is a story about the redemptive power of vulnerability and the peace that comes from facing whatever life presents.

What if… What if…
What if nothing’s wrong?  

PS: My sister thinks this synopsis is too serious because it omits the humor in the book.

PSS: If you read it, you'll see what she means.

Psst: Is anybody listening?
