ALL SHE WANTS IS A JOB. ALL SHE NEEDS IS RELIGION. HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

Maizy Grace Stewart dreams of a career as an investigative journalist, but her last job ended in disaster when her compassion cost her employer a juicy headline. A part-time gig at a Nashville newspaper might be her big break.

A second job at Steeple Side Christian Resources could help pay the bills, but they only hire committed Christians. Maizy is sure she can fake it with her Five-Step Program to Authentic Christian Faith. If only Jack Prentiss, Steeple Side’s managing editor and British hottie, wasn’t determined to prove her a fraud.

When Maizy’s newspaper boss pressures her to expose any skeletons in Steeple Side’s closet, she must decide whether to deliver the dirt and secure her career or lean on her newfound faith, change the direction of her life, and pray that her colleagues—and Jack—will show her grace.

Maizy Grace is a crazy character I couldn’t help but like. I loved this book and highly recommend it.” ~ CAMY TANG, author of Sushi for One? and Only Uni

“Faking Grace is a delight! I loved this story with its fun, quirky characters, its outside-the-bubble look at the culture of Christianity, and a storyline that kept me turning pages. I could hardly put it down. Highly recommended!” ~ MARLO SCHALESKY, award-winning author of Beyond the Night

“Tamara Leigh’s commentary on cultural Christianity is Faking Grace is incisive and thoughtful. Rather than force the topic in an overblown, preachy way. Leigh effectively delivers the message of pursuing authentic faith through a compelling story that hooks the reader from the first page. And my guess is that plenty of single girls are going to be crushing on that charming Brit, Jack Prentiss.” ~ CHRISTA ANN BANISTER, author of Around the World in 80 Dates and Blessed Are the Meddlers
