“A novel about a God who pesters the heroine through impudent text messages could go wrong in so many ways. It is a matter of celebration that Bower Lewis is clever enough to bring it off. Her first novel is witty and fast-paced, throwing off the kind of sparks that promise a great career in the world of fiction. It’s too bad Frank Capra’s not around to make the movie!”
— Mark Childress, author of New York Times bestseller Georgia Bottoms and Crazy in Alabama
“Fast cars, women with pink hair, guns, questionable politics, love, tequila, and missions from God? And all in one place? No, this isn’t Ted Nugent’s Excellent Adventure! This is Patience, My Dear, which just may be the best whacky, quirky, irreverent, God-texting caper I’ve read since The Bible! Seriously, though. If you can’t stand being serious, you’ll love this book!”
— Garth Stein, author of New York Times bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rain
