Carol Heizer, the main character of Flying Away, finds herself, at age thirty-three, near the end of her tether. Married to a successful New York fashion photographer and mother of two children, aged eight and five, Carol is tormented with overwhelming doubts about the worth and meaning of her life, having squandered personal gifts and advantages of class. She considers herself an abject failure-as a creative professional, in her personal relations, and as a mother. But her biggest battle is with alcohol. Growing up in privileged circumstances in Hong Kong, daughter of a rising employee of the Standard-Vacuum Oil Company, she began drinking as a teenager, a frivolous pastime born of the leisure and boredom of life at the company compound at the "Peak" that eventually turned into a lifelong addiction.

Walking into marriage is one of the greatest experiences, but with it comes a great deal of uncertainty. It can feel as though the independence of singleness is suddenly gone forever. Thankfully, the Bible teaches us what a healthy and thriving marriage requires. Establishing a routine of daily prayer is foundational to achieving this type of marriage.In Blessed with the Best: A 90-Day Devotional for Newlyweds, Richard and Ruth share from their unique perspective as newlyweds, powerful faith and increasingly stirred passion to see lives fulfilled. From finances and careers to relationships and temptations to dreams and decision making, couples will learn how turning the focus away from a self-centered marriage and toward a Christ-centric relationship changes everything.
