Synopsis
Join travel writer Angie Orth on a journey of self-discovery as she empowers readers to buck expectations, take leaps of faith, and trust that God&’s plan is better than anything we think we want for our lives. Angie Orth should have had at least 2.5 kids by now—everyone else back home did. Despite a successful PR career in New York, Angie was failing at the roles she was born to play—those of submissive wife and grandchild incubator. Without a potential husband in sight or the hope of a photogenic brood to show off, she was beginning to wonder if God forgot about her. With her thirtieth birthday looming, Angie was at a crossroads. Should she hightail it home to find a man like a &“good girl&” or continue running the rat race in New York City and hope for the best? Orth chose Plan C: Escape! She quit her job, launched a travel blog, and booked a one-way ticket to the South Pacific while her Southern family gnashed their teeth in protest. But the timing couldn&’t have been worse for a solo trip: she found herself dodging tsunamis, earthquakes, revolutions, grabby men, and incessant DMs from her worrywart relatives over a journey that spanned five continents. In the midst of her global misadventures, Orth&’s hilarious, vulnerable journey of faith and wanderlust demonstrates that God&’s plan is so much more creative than society&’s expectations. Fasten your seatbelt for this sassy, relatable memoir about living life unscripted yet still on mission. By the time readers turn the last page of Flirting with Disaster, they&’ll feel empowered, knowing God&’s vision is better than anything we think we want—or are supposed to want—for our lives. And they&’ll be ready to take on the world in their own way.
