Sometimes love comes when you least expect or want it. Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. At fifty-two, he doesn't believe in keeping anything. Men, sofas, books-everything gets jettisoned, eventually. He's divided his life into happy compartments. A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He fills his nights with a parade of handsome young men who want to make him happy. Why date someone his own age to discuss back pain, retirement-planning, and corns, when he can date men who don't care to discuss anything at all? However, when one of these sunny young men shows an inclination for dramatic scenes, Magnus meets his new neighbour. And his whole world implodes. Laurie Gentry is nearly the same age as Magnus, but that's where the similarity ends. He's messy and creative and nosy and mysterious. He's everything that Magnus has spent a lifetime avoiding. So, why can't he get Laurie out of his head? Luckily, Laurie is only in London for the summer. Magnus can uncover Laurie's mysteries and indulge their annoyingly hot attraction, and Laurie will be gone before complications arise. A few months isn't long enough to lose his heart. Is it? From bestselling author, Lily Morton comes a romantic comedy about two footloose older men and how one summer in London brings something quite beautifully unexpected into their lives.

Book Description
At the age of thirty-nine, Christian theologian Todd Billings was diagnosed with a rare form of incurable cancer. In the wake of that diagnosis, he began grappling with the hard theological questions we face in the midst of crisis: Why me? Why now? Where is God in all of this? This eloquently written book shares Billings's journey, struggle, and reflections on providence, lament, and life in Christ in light of his illness, moving beyond pat answers toward hope in God's promises. Theologically robust yet eminently practical, it engages the open questions, areas of mystery, and times of disorientation in the Christian life. Billings offers concrete examples through autobiography, cultural commentary, and stories from others, showing how our human stories of joy and grief can be incorporated into the larger biblical story of God's saving work in Christ.
