When Sarah Hogan is suddenly plunged into the chaotic nightmare of a single mother of four, she finds the day-to-day struggle almost more than she can bear. But our awesome God had His own plans for Sarah, and you'll enjoy reading the way He takes control.

Acting on a suggestion from her best friend and neighbor, Joan Anderson, Sarah decides to set up her own catering business, much to the amusement and disdain of her ex. He is sure she'll fall flat on her face. In fact, he even seems to actually want that to happen. Though he doesn't want Sarah anymore, it appears he wants Sarah to need him. But Sarah is determined to make this venture work-and it does. She even adds a personal shopping service to her catering business.

But all is not well. Sarah's increasing dependency on sleeping pills puts her business in jeopardy, and she starts missing appointments, until Joan steps in and helps Sarah through the withdrawal period. Sarah's blossoming relationship with Jeff Matthews, her first personal shopping customer, inexorably pulls Sarah into a close encounter with God - though she resists. Soon, Jeff and Sarah announce their engagement, and happy plans are underway for the wedding.

But Sarah's fifteen-year-old son Paul is not happy. Confused and hurt by his father's desertion, Paul runs away from home during the hurly-burly of the wedding plans. Yet Paul finally learns that it is Jeff who truly cares about him and his brothers and sister.

The wedding plans are abruptly interrupted when Sarah is critically injured in an automobile accident. It is during her hospitalization that Sarah comes to realize and understand that it is the God she has been resisting that has brought her through. And that it is by faith and trust in this very God that will give her the strength to face the next day, and the next...

Anna Popescu writes with great sensitivity and compassion. This book truly moved me and I'm sure you readers will find satisfaction in the story of Sarah and Jeff. I urge to you find a copy of it and dedicate some quality time to read A Little Bit of Wonderful.

Little Bit of Wonderful is gentle, heartbreaking, romantic, positive, inspiring and all too real. The chapter dealing with Sarah's runaway son and their drive home is vivid and exciting ....couldn't read fast enough. The title of book fits perfectly its content. Thanks for the excellent read.

A Little Bit of Wonderful is packed with interpersonal relationships that play out often just as they do in our daily lives. The relationships between friends, parents and children, and even those of an estranged divorced couple are realistic and comfortable.

We find ourselves becoming cheerleaders for the success of an entrepreneurial venture, encouragers for the one falling deeper into drug dependence, and the frantic parent waiting for a runaway child.

This book is a homey, cozy, pragmatic, next-door-people kind of book. Once you pick it up, find a comfortable place to settle in because you will no doubt remain there for many hours!

Kudos to Anna for creating scenarios involving the typical struggling family. It is refreshing for the reader to view the many family problems and their solutions objectively instead of being the subject of the various dilemmas. --Patrica Knight, Belgrade Lakes, Maine

In A LITTLE BIT OF WONDERFUL, Sarah is forced to face her husband's infidelity when he casually announces that he has found someone else. Jonathan leaves her with four teenagers to raise on her own. During the months following her divorce, Sarah attempts to rely on her own strength to endure this difficult time in her life. It is only after meeting Jeff Matthews, a man that was seriously injured in an auto accident, does she begin to understand that God would like to carry her burdens. As Jeff and Sarah begin a sweet romance that focuses on inner-beauty, Sarah continues her spiritual journey. I highly recommend A LITTLE BIT OF WONDERFUL to anyone who enjoys a sweet inspirational romance.
