ABOUT THE BOOK:

Hope Landon has been rewriting other people's greeting cards since she was six years old -- there's always a funnier caption. She's all set to chase those creative dreams with her musician fiance in New York City until he leaves Hope at the altar, deciding he must not really love this girl if he can't write a song for her. That may give her something to write about . . .

Hope disappears alone on what was supposed to be the couple's month long honeymoon. Upon returning she learns of her funeral -- everyone in her life concluded Hope must have killed herself after being jilted. Needing a fresh start more than ever, she heads for the Big Apple only to discover it's not that easy to rent a place when you've been declared dead.

Taking shelter at the YWCA, Hope soon lands a job at a Christian inspirational greeting card company as an assistant to Jake, a guy who shut down his organization's humor department. She has lost her faith in love; he needs to find something or someone that will make him laugh.

Is there anything in the cards for these two? Find out in the truly original Greetings from the Flipside by authors Rene Gutteridge (Boo) and Cheryl McKay (screenplay for The Ultimate Gift).

Margie's Comments: What a wonderfully delightful story to read! Even with the "bad" stuff that happens to Hope, she soon learns that God can bring incredible good out of the hard stuff in life. The characters are well-drawn from Hope's grandmother, mother, best friend to Sam, Jake, and the rest of this wonderful cast of characters. Soon after the beginning of the book, events take a surprising twist and some fun scenes follow. It gives a whole new meaning to seeing a story from two sides. Hence the title. Truly loved this fun read.
