Things Without a Name — Joanne Fedler

 

At 34, Faith Roberts isn't so different from most women her age. Okay, so her cleavage is rather disappointing and she's still single, but she has a busy job, the usual dysfunctional family, a clinically depressed best friend, and a younger sister who is getting breast implants as an engagement present -- practically normal.
Faith used to think about falling in love, but that was a long time ago. As a counselor in a women's crisis center, she's heard one too many love-gone-wrong stories, so it's hard for her not to give up on the big things, like love, hope, and trust -- let alone the chance of getting a decent haircut or meeting a halfway normal guy. Then one night, an odd twist of fate finds Faith in a situation that transforms her life, bringing her to finally understand what she has always needed to know: that before you can save others, you have to save yourself. This beautifully written, big-hearted love story will resonate with any woman who has thought about giving up on love and hope, but chooses not to.
