The Art of Losing Yourself (Waterbrook Press, April 21, 2015) by Christy Award finalist Katie Ganshert follows TV weather girl Carmen Hart as she pretends to the live a perfect life behind her phony on-camera smile.
"I think all of us, if we're being honest, pass through seasons of doubt at one point or another," states Ganshert. "But so often, it's such a taboo topic to talk about. I hope this book can open up some dialogue regarding the doubts we face. I think doubt loses its power when we bring it out into the light."
Set in Florida's panhandle, Carmen struggles with doubt wondering if she made a mistake marrying her husband and if the God she once believed in is even real. After years of losses and empty arms longing for a baby of her own, she's not so sure anymore. Even more so, when instead of a newborn, she ends up with her 17-year-old runaway, half-sister Gracie Fisher in her care.
Ganshert will be signing copies of her new novel:
