Close Enough Jenn Faulk

Beckett Huntington has no idea what he's doing. When his job sends him to Dubai, he quickly finds that he's ill-equipped to understand the culture, function in a foreign country, and deal with all of the stress that has suddenly become such a huge part of his life. He needs help, and on the day that he meets Holly Collins, he's certain that she's the answer to a prayer he didn't even know he was praying. Holly Collins has been teaching in Dubai for several years, at home in a culture so far removed from her complicated past back in the States. As she's living her life and doing her best to blend in, looking for opportunities to share the love of Christ with those she meets, she runs into Beckett and is immediately put off by his loud insistence that he needs her, until that same love for Christ compels her to do what she can to help him. As they become unlikely friends, the present and the future forces them both to look at the past, to reconcile who've they've been with who they are, and to imagine a future that might be different than the one that either of them has imagined, as Jesus finds them both, as grace manifests itself more clearly in their hearts, and as they discover that God knows exactly where they are, even when they're far from home. Close Enough is a redemptive story about forgiveness and grace. While it is Christian fiction, the book deals with sensitive topics and details not often found in this genre and may make some readers uncomfortable.
