About this ebook
“There are few things I love more than curling up with a Jenny B. Jones cast of characters. Save the Date was no exception.” —Kristin Billerbeck, author of The Theory of Happily Ever After
The only thing scarier than living on the edge is stepping off it.
Maggie Montgomery lives a life of adventure. Her job as a cinematographer takes her from one exotic locale to the next. When Maggie's not working, she loves to rappel off cliffs or go skydiving. Nothing frightens her.
Nothing, that is, except Ivy, Texas, where a family emergency pulls her back home to a town full of bad memories, painful secrets, and people Maggie left far behind . . . for a reason.
Forced to stay longer than she intended, Maggie finds her family a complete mess, including the niece her sister has abandoned. Ten-year-old Riley is struggling in school and out of control at home. The only person who can really handle the pint-sized troublemaker is Conner, the local vet and Ivy's most eligible bachelor. But Conner and Maggie keep butting heads—he’s suspicious of her and, well, she doesn't rely on anyone but herself.
As Maggie humorously fumbles her way from one mishap to another, she realizes she's going to need to ask for help from the one person who scares her the most.
To save one little girl—and herself—can Maggie let go of her fears and just trust God?
“Jenny B. Jones strikes a perfect balance of quirkiness and vulnerability.” —Allison Pittman, author of Stealing Home
“Jones’s sassy style is merely one of this romance novelist’s many endearing talents . . . Some subtle faith messages about trusting God despite painful pasts round out this fast-paced, lighthearted romantic escape.” —Publishers Weekly review of Save the Date

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A personal discovery novel that integrates the importance of faith in finding one's true self and losing the fear that binds all of us in various ways. I thought that Jenny B. Jones did an excellent job of weaving the lesson into the story without it become preachy. Maggie Montgomery, the protaganist, comes home to find that her past still haunts her, not only in and through personal relationships, but also in her dreams. She carries guilt that must be resolved, and as the story evolves the reader may find himself/herself reflecting on unresolved guilt in their own lives. A great read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book will make my top fiction for 2009 list. Ms. Jones is one of the best authors when it comes to clearly portraying emotional and spiritual arcs in her characters. Her characterization is always deep and well-thought-out, too.
