Item description for Bookends by Liz Curtis Higgs...
Overview
Dr. Emilie Getz is into saving historical relics; Jonas Fielding into saving souls. When the two meet, sparks fly. But despite their disastrous beginning, neither one will escape unsmitten.
Publishers Description
Opposites Attract?
Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people could possibly be—the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town. She’s a first-class neatnik; he’s a world-class slob. She’s into saving historical relics; he’s into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this uptight historian and this laid-back land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged…or unsmitten!
“A well-written, delightful concoction of
romance, humor, tenderness, and fun.”
Lisa Samson, author of Tiger Lillie
Opposites attract? Maybe not.
Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people—of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same charming Pennsylvania town—could be.
She loves history; he loves new ideas. She sticks to the rules; he likes to break them. She’s into saving relics; he’s into saving souls. The one trait they share is a penchant for controlling every aspect of their lives, including their stubborn hearts.
When Emilie’s search for an archaeological treasure leads her to the one piece of land she can’t have (thanks to Jonas), they choose opposing sides in an engaging battle of wits. Emilie, a no-nonsense sort of woman, is determined to have her way. But Jonas is on a mission as well: He wants to hear Emilie laugh. Often.
“Liz Curtis Higgs mixes her usual humor into this entertaining story of roller-coaster romance.”
Christian Retailing
“Delicious as Moravian sugar cake! Readers will love it.”

Gayle Roper, author of Winter Winds
“A great story with believable characters, realistic situations,
and a sprinkling of Higgs’s humor.”
K-LOVE News & Reviews
“Declare a holiday and cozy up with this engaging novel.”

Story Behind the Book
Though she has traveled the world, Liz Curtis Higgs is a small-town girl at heart. In Bookends, Liz invites readers to visit a place she knows well: her hometown of Lititz, nestled in the rolling hills of historic Lancaster County , Pennsylvania . Fond memories of her childhood years in the Moravian church—one of the oldest of the Protestant denominations—and her love for Lititz history and traditions serve as a solid underpinning for this lively contemporary tale. Like many couples, Emilie and Jonas resemble human bookends—opposites in every way—until Emilie’s joy-filled spiritual awakening turns their stubborn hearts in the same happy direction.
An award-winning speaker since 1986, Liz Curtis Higgs has stepped onto 1,500 platforms in all fifty states and six foreign countries encouraging women to grow in Christ and celebrate their faith. As the author of twenty-two books, including her first contemporary novel, Mixed Signals, her bestselling historical novels, Thorn in My Heart and Fair Is the Rose , her nonfiction bestseller Bad Girls of the Bible, and a series of Gold Medallion Award–winning children’s books, Liz touches the hearts of her readers with real-life humor and grace-filled encouragement. She and her husband, Bill, live with their two teenagers and too many cats in Louisville , Kentucky . |

 | unexpectadly good Oct 12, 2008 |
| I read this book as part of a book club and i was suprised to see how much I liked it. This book brings religion and romance together in a cute story. I found it hard to get into the book at first but its well worth sticking with it. | | | | Bookends - a sweet read Jun 18, 2008 |
| Although the heroine of this story was distinctly unlikable in the beginning of the book and made some choices I felt were not actually true to the character as written, Liz did a fairly good job at showing "the new man" God can create when our lives are turned over to him. This love story is multi-layered and heartening and definitely worth the read. | | |  | SO Funny! Jun 14, 2007 |
| This book was so much fun! It's not very often I sit and literally laugh out loud, but this book had me giggling! It's funny, inspirational and charming. | | | | GREAT Christian chick lit Jun 15, 2006 |
| I just finished reading Bookends and was very impressed. It's the first Higgs book I have read (although I read and love her column in TCW). I will definitely be reading more of her literature. This was a warm, funny book with a bit of mystery in it. It wasn't predictable in my opinion, which was a nice change from most romantic fiction. I loved the quirky characters(including the golden retriever) and loved how realisitc it was. I had never heard of the Moravian denomination and am now more curious about it. This is defintely a cozy read and would make a good gift for a close friend. | | | | Engaging and Entertaining Aug 12, 2003 |
| "Bookends" reveals a talent of the author, Liz Curtiz Higgs, that is nice to find in Christian Romance Novels. The characters are engaging and entertaning. Best of all, you do not have to wait till the end of the story for the main characters to have fun together! In this book the stroyline is creatively weaved with humor, seriousness, and romance, from begining to end. I highly recomend it to those who enjoy quality, intelligent, romance/comedy novels. | | | Write your own review about Bookends
