Irina Popov didn't mean to knock over Arnold Matthews' trash cans. Twice. Or to park her beat-up sedan half on his manicured lawn. Or to nearly drop a vintage sofa on his head. But moving into a new town is chaotic, especially when you're trying to juggle your freelance design business, your faith, and your habit of jumping into life headfirst-even if it means landing face-first in your new neighbor's flower bed. Arnold Matthews likes his life just the way it is: quiet, orderly, and decidedly free of loud, bubbly women with questionable baking skills and a dog named Sparky who seems to bark just for the fun of it. But somehow, despite himself, Arnold keeps finding reasons to step out of his perfectly organized world and into Irina's slightly messy, wonderfully colorful one. When Irina's big heart and unshakable faith start to chip away at Arnold's carefully constructed walls, he begins to wonder if maybe God has a sense of humor-and a plan that's far better than anything Arnold could've come up with himself. From awkward meet-cutes to chaotic backyard barbecues, unexpected faith lessons, and a dash of puppy mischief, Irina and Arnold discover that love and grace don't always show up the way you expect-but they're exactly what you need. For fans of sweet, small-town romances with a splash of humor, a sprinkle of chaos, and a whole lot of heart, Love, Faith & New Beginnings will remind you that God's plans are always perfect... even if they don't come with color-coded spreadsheets.
