by David Athey
As a boy he performed concerts singing old-time hymns with his family and got so famous he’s still known around Iowa as Danny Gospel. But since then, things haven’t worked out quite the way he planned. And now Danny prays for just one thing: a normal, happy life.
What he gets instead is a kiss.
He wakes one morning to a perfectly lovely woman dressed in white who leans down, kisses him on the lips…and then disappears. The next moment, Danny finds himself launched into a quest to find this woman he’s sure is his true love. He is an everyday hero on anything but an everyday journey—dreaming impossible dreams and, no matter how much he must suffer, pursuing romance and heavenly glory.
Funny, poignant, and revelatory, this elegiac and luminous debut by David Athey introduces a character you won’t soon forget. A man who seeks God’s leading at every crossroads and believes that sometimes paradise is as close as an Iowa cornfield.

Hello! The story line kind of sounds mystical/magical. Your review makes me very intrigued about how he tried to find this woman in white and if he ever finds out who she was. An Iowa corn field reminds me of “Field of Dreams!” Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks,Cindi

Please enter me, this book sounds great, thanks!
This sounds like a book that my husband and I could have written. I kissed him out of the blue, and he was never able to get me out of his mind, and 20 years later, we ended up getting married! I would *love* to win this book, so please enter me. And thanks so much for your year-round generosity.
By the way, I won a book from you called “Mad about You” last year, and we have both devoured it — thank you so much!!
Piqued my interest! Thanks for letting us know about this title, sounds very interesting! I do a few book reviews on my blog as well (just a baby blogger though!), and plan to do some more
