Where was God during Covid-19, when He let millions die of asphyxiation, all alone, and their bodies towed away in plastic bags? Where was God when we watch helplessly our own fathers and mothers and children die? You mean to say nobody prayed in these times? You mean to say no one prayed when the women and children were being taken as sex-slaves in Syria and Afghanistan? Did God go to sleep when all the Jews were being gassed in World War II? The Voyager 1, launched by NASA in 1977 has sped way past the Solar System, and found no bearded figure in white robes. So, where is God? What started as a fun recording of what was floating around in the iCloud, became a personal journey of enlightenment for the author, who is an agnostic and anti-religious herself, to find God - "the asshole who apparently struck a matchstick, and fled". (Not for the faint-faithed)

Crossroads are an inevitable part of life. But how do you navigate them when your life is not your own? At 22-years-old, Michelle Onuorah was a bestselling author, former runway model, and recent college graduate with the world at her fingertips...Or so she thought.In a matter of weeks which turned into months...and eventually most of her twenties, the God of the universe systematically revealed that He was also the God of her life - and she was not. With breathtaking candor, razor sharp humor, and bold vulnerability, Michelle shares the ten key lessons she's learned about God, life and understanding both in the midst of ceaseless transitions. In her words, "This book is for those of you who believed with all your heart that you would end up in one place and somehow, despite following God - or maybe even because of it - ended up on a completely different path. This is for those of you who, though you love God, sometimes wonder who He even is. This is for those of you who choose to believe He's still good." This book is for you.**Please note that there are instances of profanity and unapologetic themes of spirituality within this work. Reader discretion is advised.**

It is rare books like this one that remind me why I fell in love with the written word."—Colleen Hoover When I was twelve, a fortune teller told me that my one true love would die young and leave me all alone... It's a dark prediction, but Beatrice Jordan never really believed in true love anyway. So, no harm done. She's accepted her lot in life: living in Los Angeles as an artist, not letting herself get too attached to anyone. It's not perfect, but nothing is. Until fate intervenes. It's a simple personal ad: "I am seeking a friend for the end of the world..." Eleven little words that change Beatrice's life irrevocably. Because they lead her to Jacob Grace, an unpredictable writer looking for something he can't name. Both of their worlds shift that day and what follows is a love story unlike any other; brimming with creativity and passion, as two lost souls find themselves in each other. From hole-in-the-wall record stores to late night phone calls, together, Beatrice and Jacob transcend the loneliness of their lives. But dark realities and secrets soon rise to the surface, as does Beatrice's fear of an inescapable fate. Despite it all, this is a story of real love: the kind that breaks you and remakes you, the kind that changes you forever. The kind of love worth having, even if it's short lived, even if you know you might lose it.

It's very fast and very funny, and at its core it's that rarest of things—a truly convincing love story."—Dave Eggers "With wit and humor, the author brings these characters and their quirky, artsy friends alive. Bottom Line: You'll dig it"—People
