The Whitney Chronicles
Judy Baer

Mills & Boon Silhouette
spinster:noun1 : an unmarried woman or a woman for whom marriage seems dubious2 : a woman who spins or weavesHer mother, sister and friends (?) fear spinsterhood may be thirty-year-old Whitney Blake's fate. And while she doesn't believe she'll be weaving tablecloths, Whitney wonders if Mr. Right will ever arrive.Deciding to be more proactive, Whitney starts a journal, stating her goals: "This month–Lose two pounds (sensibly). GET ORGANIZED. Start by cleaning closets. Have friends over for dinner. Pray more, obsess less."It must be working–suddenly there are several men in Whitney's life. But are any of them marriage material, or is "fabulous, single, Christian man" an oxymoron?

Praise for The Whitney Chronicles

“Whitney Blake…becomes not just a fictional character, but a ‘girlfriend’—so much so that readers might have to remember they can’t meet her for a cup of coffee.”

—Christian Retailing

“Baer has created fascinating characters with real-life problems and triumphs that show readers the details of living out faith daily.”

—Romantic Times BOOKclub

“With sixty-five books to her credit, Baer knows how to spin a good tale…. The results are genuinely enjoyable.”

—Publishers Weekly

“When Whitney Blake grabbed a Snickers bar, I knew she was my kind of girl. In The Whitney Chronicles, Judy Baer nailed the chick-lit voice and created a delightful, quirky cast of characters. She’s now on my very short list of great chick-lit writers.”

—Colleen Coble, bestselling author of the Rock Harbor mystery series

“The Whitney Chronicles is chick-lit fun for the Christian set—and anyone else looking for a breezy, heartfelt read!”

—Kristin Billerbeck, bestselling author of What a Girl Wants

For Adrienne

(who gives invaluable feedback—thanks, honey!)

and Aaron—all my love

So be very careful how you live. Do not live like those who are not wise. Live wisely. I mean that you should use every chance you have for doing good, because these are evil times. So do not be foolish with your lives, but learn what the Lord wants you to do.

—Ephesians 5:15–17
