    About this ebook

    A funny-but-touching tale about everything that can go wrong...and what makes it all right!

    Tess Nelson is poised to take a well-deserved step up the corporate ladder when it's yanked out from under her. With no job and nothing to fill her days--just a nonrefundable ticket for a trip to Hawaii--Tess decides a tropical vacation is just what she needs. But Tess's journey to paradise is a disaster from the beginning. A sprained ankle at the airport is just the beginning. Then there's the lost contact lens and the lost luggage, the lightning storm at a luau, and the hotel fire. Not to mention the approaching hurricane. And the attractive, annoying young man who keeps crossing her path--and really shaking her up. All Tess wants to do is get her life back under control. But God, it seems, has something else in mind--like opening her heart to everything her life could be.

      "LOL"--three little letters so overly used these days, and very rarely in a literal sense, in my experience. But Stranded in Paradise did make me laugh, and just as equally gave me pause to reconsider what it means to trust in God and to be at peace, no matter what.One book that truly changed my life in a specific way I can identify. Definitely worth a reread.
