Mara Faro

The Grace Crasher Mara Faro

Armed with a floral-print Bible cover, Julia must pretend to be "born again" for her Christian housemates-cute EMT Mark and his church-lady mom. Their place is walking distance (cough, stalking distance) from Dylan, her latest musician crush. Mark knows she's faking her faith. But he needs someone like her to crash his dull routine. So he protects her secret and brings her to his Evangelical church. Hiding her Catholic past, she bumbles her way through hand-raising worship. Other times she sneaks into Mass. Meanwhile, Mark explains how to be "saved." (Sure, she needs saving-from her alcoholic dad, her copier-jamming job, and Mark's suspicious mom.) But does he just want to save her? Or date her? Then Dylan sings her a song at open mic. Suddenly she's torn between two guys, flubbing her way through three different churches, and completely confused about life. Will it all crash down around her, or will she crash straight into grace?
