The Saint Who Loved Me

by Mimi Thebo

PR consultant Maggie White has a problem. It's not her nightmare commute, the difficult tampon launch or the fact that her marriage is on the rocks. No, Maggie's real problem is that St. Peter is visiting her in the bedroom every night...and he looks like Sean Connery. He's got a PR problem or, more accurately, Jesus does. Now it's Maggie's problem, too. Outrageously funny and unashamedly hopeful, The Saint Who Loved Me is a dazzling, compassionate and intelligent look at the modern world and how we live in it.
