Fish Out of Water Angela Dolbear

Can life be this beautiful for a quirky-cool, former Goth chick? Writer Madeleine McManus certainly counts her blessings--daily.

She lives with her gorgeous, loving, and loyal rock star husband, Peter, in a beautifully restored historic mini-mansion in Pasadena, California. And her fiction writing career is taking off.

After years of battling fear and insecurity, Maddy's life finally fits her, and feels established.
Then a major-league curve ball crashes in, and unhinges Maddy's perfect life plan. But this new adventure leads Maddy into a deeper level of love--and heartbreak--than she has ever known.

While joining her husband on his band's tour in Berlin, Germany, an elderly Italian woman in an ancient church speaks a phrase to Maddy which haunts her in her broken world.

Can she make sense of this woman's words, and receive the healing she needs from her suffocating grief?
In a divinely-timed moment, Peter's wild past rears its head by way of a mysterious letter. Can Maddy make peace with the repercussions of her husband's history?

FISH OUT OF WATER is the third book in The Garden Key Tales series, and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel as well. It is the tale of purpose, prayer, and plenteous pizza in Germany.
