  <default_description>God has answered Mona Reynolds's prayers and given her the opportunity of a lifetime: she is about to open her own bookstore-coffee shop, the Footstep of Heaven. Now Mona has no time for love and no hope that a man can ever be the hero of her dreams. But when she hires mysterious drifter Joe Michaels to be her handyman, she discovers that it isn't only in fairy tales that people live &quot;happily ever after.&quot;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is my favorite inspirational romance. The main character has her ups and downs, and she's not perfect. She works hard and she just wants 'the dream'. She could be me, or you. And even her happily ever after isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoy chick-lit occasionally, but I get very annoyed with Christian chick-lit.  I really resent religion being forcibly sprinkled throughout what should be an enjoyable read.  Come on, they look into each others' eyes and quote Bible passages? Really.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is my first book by Susan May Warren, but I'm definitely going to look for more books by her in the future.  This is just good, old-fashioned Christian chick-lit/romance.  I don't know which genre to call it, maybe a mix of both.
