On her twenty-ninth birthday, Mari Hamilton, a worn-out recreation director at Golden Horizons Retirement Home, is convinced that leaving social work will improve her social life. So she seeks and receives a stylish position at a new and fabulous luxury spa. In addition, after countless bad first dates at hip clubs, Mari meets the perfect guy at Golden Horizon''s anniversary party (of all places!). But a funny thing happens to her on the way to a life makeover—a forced stopover in her past where she admits to the unadmittable...

Through all her work and dating adventures and misadventures, Mari realizes that it was in her old life that God was doing a new and incredibly hip thing.

In this fun and clever sequel to Hip to Be Square, heroine Mari Hamilton is enjoying her satisfying work, an eight-month relationship to her perfect Beau, and the role of attentive bridesmaid as her friend Sadie plans the wedding of the year. But as Sadie steps closer to the altar, her single friends—Mari, Caitlin, and Angelica—must face their emotions about tying the knot.

Altar Call is an engaging and entertaining look at how a wedding...even someone else''s...can turn rational women into irrational creatures. And how sometimes a woman''s path isabout finding Mr. Right—and sometimes it is about having enough faith to do the right thing.

From the author of Hip to Be Square comes an urban tale of Libby Marshall, whose life seems to be going the wrong direction. She creates trip itineraries but never travels. She wants to attend church but winds up at a bookstore on Sundays. She longs for a love attraction yet settles for a "like" distraction.

But when Libby receives a demotion instead of her overdue promotion, she vows to start living intentionally. Yet just when she is trying to be authentic, she is asked to keep a huge secret to redeem her career. Will a genuine life ever be within reach? And will Libby ever have enough faith to believe that happiness can be found in the detours.
