A real-life romantic comedy about getting dumped and getting over it

Isabel Gillies, the New York Times bestselling author of Happens Every Day, has written another irresistibly moving and funny memoir: A Year and Six Seconds: A Love Story. When our story opens, it's a dark and slushy winter in New York City, where Isabel is arriving by airplane from Ohio, two toddlers in tow, to move in with her parents; her husband has left her for another woman. In subsequent scene after hilarious scene, Isabel shares her valiant, misguided, and bumbling attempts to understand her own part in the disintegration of her marriage and to feel strong and loveable. And, one by one, she begins to cross items off a staggering single mom to-do list that includes: change last name, get bank account, get work, have breakdowns only in front of best friend and not in front of children, find rare preschool slot for son midyear in Manhattan, get along with three generations of family in tight quarters, find a man who can plant one great and romantic kiss, accept self, accept love, be happy.

She cries, she dates, she (and her mother and father and children) get the flu, and then, just when she least expects it, Isabel falls in love.

With humility and a refreshing sense of humor, Isabel stumbles many times but also laughs, forgives, discovers new treasures from old friends, marries again, and more than that, finds good love itself within and around her.

Excellent Devotional
Excellent devotional. This author has a way of getting to the point and expressing it so well. He understands how human beings function, how our problem, sin, is in our own heart. Each daily devotional will speak truth, based on God’s Word. Grace is emphasized over and over again because we so often forget the gift we have been given: Jesus Christ. I highly recommend this devotional.

An insightful and encouraging read for anyone in their faith journey
Format: Hardcover
The best devotional book that I have read yet! Every morning there is something challenging, encouraging, and well thought out. There is a scripture to go with each day which can help you know where to start when reading your Bible. The analogies are insightful and encouraging to read. It makes you want to grow in a relationship with Jesus and is good for anyone to read. It isn't a high reading level, so it is good for those new to their faith or those who are looking to grow more.

Biblically Rich, Encouraging, and Convicting
Format: Hardcover
I have purchased this book many times since it was first gifted to me. This devotional is rich and encouraging, convicting, understandable, biblical, and always points back to the Word. Each day is titled with a month and day so it’s easy to find your current page regardless of the year. It is wonderful for anyone who wants to grow in their faith whether you’ve just met Christ or have known Him for a little while :)

Encouraging, Uplifting, and Perfect for Our Team!
Format: Hardcover
We gifted the New Morning Mercies devotional to our lead teachers, and it has been such a blessing! Each daily reading is filled with truth, encouragement, and a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness and grace. It’s the perfect way to start each day with purpose and peace. 🌿✨ The quality of the book itself is wonderful — sturdy cover, easy-to-read layout, and timeless content that speaks to the heart. Our teachers have loved sharing their favorite devotionals and using them for reflection and prayer throughout the week. Highly recommend this book for anyone leading, teaching, or simply needing a daily reminder of God’s new mercies every morning. 💛
