Almost by Design | Big Careers Collide In A Small Town

Almost by Design combines small town charm and big city careers with several delightful twists and turns as Kenya wonders if her dyslexia is going to ruin her life forever.

Main Themes

Kenya is doing everything she can to thrive in her career and get a coveted promotion. But her dyslexic brain seems determined to continually mess her up. As her mistakes and shortcomings start to snowball, Kenya is afraid she’s a disappointment to her boss and her family. If she ever wants to recover and get her life back on track, she has to put her worth in something other than her performance. And maybe accept some help from a devilishly handsome doctor who has never stopped thinking about.

Other main themes include finding personal identity apart from parents and family expectations, showing grace and compassion towards those with neurodiverse gifts, giving people second chances, and putting your worth in God instead of work or relationships.

Faith Elements

Kenya realizes that measuring her worth based on her career success is setting herself up to fail. She has to learn to accept God’s love and grace, even when life is confusing and hard. When she focuses on the negatives, she misses seeing the beauty, energy, and creative that God designed her with, and that her dyslexia can be a blessing in disguise.

Family Friendly Considerations

This is a very clean, no spicy, kissing-only novel suitable for all ages.
