Trish Ryan was the quintessential successful thirtysomething woman -- she had a career as an attorney, a nice car, and a succession of men clamoring for her affection. But despite all her accomplishments, the things by which she defined her life continually left her disappointed, especially when it came to dating. Like the heroines of chick-lit novels and Sex and the City, she couldn't escape her bad luck with men: men who cheated, who left her, who made her a lesser version of herself. After years of trying everything out there to make love work -- new age philosophy, feminist empowerment, myriad of self-help programs -- she finally, hesitantly, decided to give God a try. This is Ryan's story of how her search for the right guy turned into the search for the right God, and (spoiler alert!) how she ended up with the happily-ever-after ending.
Trish Ryan lives in Boston, Massachusetts. Visit her online at trishryanonline.blogspot.com and trishryanonline.com.
"Trish Ryan's He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not is the beautiful and honest story of one pilgrim's progress. It will inspire you and challenge you and you will fall in love with it and with her."
"You don't have to be looking for spiritual enlightenment to dive into Trish Ryan's HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT: A Memoir of Finding Faith, Hope, and Happily Ever After. Honest, funny and poignant, Ryan's is a story of one woman searching for the right path, and in sharing her journey, she might help you find your own way, whatever that way might be."
"Trish Ryan delivers a razor sharp memoir: funny, thoughtful, poignant and unflinchingly honest. HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT is a must-read for anyone who's struggled with life's Big Questions."
"Poignant, honest, and intriguing ... This book is for anyone who longs to experience the abundance, joy, and peace that only comes through a relationship with the one true God of the universe."
"Trish Ryan is a woman on a search. She's honest, vulnerable, funny and frank and simply will not settle for a life without greater meaning or a man without a generous heart. Her story will connect with all those who quest for true love and a greater purpose or pattern for the way they live their lives."
"This is one riveting story. Like many people, I can identify with what it feels like to look in all the wrong places -- and then realize down the road that God has been writing a story that is so much bigger and better than I could have ever imagined. It's not often that someone can make me read into the wee hours -- and then laugh so hard that I wake my poor husband up from a sound sleep."
"Trish Ryan gives readers a literary two-for-one deal that is hard to resist. Her simultaneous quests for the right guy and the right spiritual path are funny, moving, disarmingly frank and ultimately uplifting. Each makes a great tale, but together, her cup runneth over."
