Glory is devastated by the death of her young carpenter husband, Dan to pneumonia. To make ends meet she takes a job at Target and turns his handmade chapel into a wedding chapel and meets Joe Vigil, an ex-cop on disability. The first hosted wedding - a pirate wedding, also sees Glory accept yet another foster child, Juniper. Despite the odds, the three become a family and prove that "for every mistake a human makes, one hundred good things happen." This book is filled with thought provoking quotes, situations, and relationships.
"Books are always worth the splurge."
"If you want to know the meaning of something, you need more than reference books. You need imagination and you have to be willing to experiment and take risks."
