In the world of the evangelical romance novel, sex and desire are mitigated by an omnipresent third party--the divine. Thus romance is not just an encounter between lovers, but a triangle of affection: man, woman, and God. Although this literature is often disparaged by scholars and pastors alike, inspirational fiction plays a unique and important role in the religious lives of many evangelical women. In an engaging study of why women read evangelical romance novels, Lynn S. Neal interviews writers and readers of the genre and finds a complex religious piety among ordinary people.

MUSINGS FROM MIRANDA BLANCHARD This has been a year of family turmoil–and it's only June! Life hasn't been the same since I learned my long-presumed-dead mother is actually alive, and then my father was arrested for murder. I'm so thankful that Reverend Gregory Brown is here.
FROM THE DESK OF BIANCA BLANCHARD Everything I was raised to believe has been a lie! The photo Leo Santiago gave me of our mothers together--dated a week after my mother's death--and my father's evasions set my legal mind racing, so I hired a detective to investigate my mother's long-ago accident. Turns out she's alive! I've been so thankful for Leo, who has been incredibly supportive. He works for my father, so catering to the boss's daughter is part of his job, but the looks this handsome man gives me make me think there's more to our relationship than business.
A NOTE FROM PORTIA BLANCHARD Boy, is Mick Campbell infuriating! The police detective is only doing his job, looking into the death of the private investigator my sister had hired to fi nd our presumed-dead mother (it's been a very eventful month!), but does he really believe a member of my family is a killer?
A NOTE FROM DELIA BLANCHARD So many things have been happening here at our family's mansion, I can't go home to Hawaii: I've met my long-lost grandparents; learned the woman shot to death in the library was my aunt, not my mother; and been threatened by a blackmailing loan shark!
FROM THE DESK OF JULIET BLANCHARD I thought working in our family firm would finally make my father show some interest in me. He's always been distant toward me--possibly because I might not be his child? (I found an incriminating photo of my long-presumed-dead mother with a man I resemble.) Then I found he gave Brandon De Witte my job! I know this handsome newcomer is keeping secrets--hopefully not dangerous ones. Because not only is my faith shaken right now, but someone seems to want me out of the picture, permanently.
