Publisher's Description

Fascinatingly insightful and hopeful page-turning account of one woman's encounter with ultimate rejection. TV journalist Kimberley Kennedy went from having it all to complete devastation, rejection, and public humiliation when, like a Lifetime movie scenario, her fiance literally left her at the altar. Fortunately, her story did not end at the church. With candor and humor, Kimberley shares the most personal details of her life as she journeys from devastation to a deeper understanding of what happened and how she found not only healing but hope to someday find her Mr. Right. The intimate woman-to-woman inspirational journey includes: Stories of women who were left at the altar How to deal with feelings of anger towards God The little black dress analogy How not to let your rejection define who you become Tools for healing and moving on How to laugh, love again, and return to dating Ultimate insight from men who have been rejectors

“With my crazy schedule, very few books are able to capture my attention so thoroughly that I neglect my own writing for days. Kimberley’s story is not only compelling; it is also important for each of us who needs to be reminded that God is there in our toughest seasons—and will walk us through them, hand in hand, if we only will let Him. I loved this book, and I know you will too.”

“Guys aren’t supposed to read books that are written for women, right? Well, I read this one, and it opened my eyes to the pain of rejection. Left at the Altar is a must-read for guys too! Besides the fact that it is well written and keeps you wanting to read more, it also works on your soul in the areas of sensitivity and understanding—two traits most of us guys could really use a ton of help with.”

Dave Gudgel

“This is not just a book; it is a love letter of hope—the ultimate reference for any woman facing rejection. Inside you learn not only how to manage rejection but also that God’s plan and intention for your life is much better than what you could ever imagine. It has been a lifeline for me . . . one I now offer to you. Reading it you realize God did not waste Kimberley’s heartache and tears.”
