 As a successful fundraising executive
in Southern California, Dee Decker works in a world populated by impossibly
thin, designer-outfitted women. Dee has never felt like she fits in, but
nonetheless enjoys a well-earned reputation as being cool, calm, and collected.
When she discovers that her husband is having an affair, Dee embarks on a
journey of self-discovery (and plastic surgery) that will transform her inside
and out. But it is Dee's spiritual transformation that will bring real change
to her life and the lives of her family.
Allison Bottke is
primarily known as the official God Allows U-Turns Poster Girl, after a
dramatic u-turn in her own life at the age of 35. She is the author/editor of
18 non-fiction books including the acclaimed true story anthology series
called: God Allows U-Turns. An inspirational speaker at conferences nationwide,
she is frequently a guest on radio and television programs around the country.
She is the co-author of I Can't Do It All! with Tracie Peterson and
Dianne O'Brian, released in February 2006. Allison and her husband make their
home on a small farm near Faribault, Minnesota. This is her first novel, it
releases in June 2006 from Bethany House Publishers. Her second novel will
release in summer 2007.

They say that some first novels are a bit autobiographical . . . if
so, I want to hang out with Allison Bottke! A Stitch in Time is a witty look at
an all-too-flawed woman in search of perfection, and boy, could I relate to
her! A wonderful read.

This is a first
novel? ...Breakout novelist Allison Bottke will gain hordes of new fans with
the first of (what we can hope to be) many novels! From the first page, first
paragraph, first line, first word...you'll not want to put this one down. Her
characters ring true, even outside the typical sense of normal (it's not every
day you rub noses with Arnold and Maria). A Stitch in Time proves that we are
all hungry for more of God, all of us, no matter where we come from or what we
do. A must read!

Allison Bottke pens a wonderful tale of forgiveness and
reconciliation. A Stitch in Time takes the reader through a lifestyle few have
experienced first hand, while dealing with emotions and day to day conflicts
familiar to us all. This book is sure to please.

Intelligent. Witty.
Real. Energetic. Fascinating. Life-changing. All of these characteristics of
Allison's debut novel make it some of the best fiction I've read in a long time
and an accurate description of the author herself. I can hardly wait for more
books from this amazing woman.

I enjoyed this book-fun reading. Allison Bottke is a fresh, honest
voice in contemporary fiction of the chic lit style, whose 50-year-old heroine
pushes the age boundaries. A Stitch in Time leaves the reader with a renewed
appreciation for God's grace and purpose at all stages of our lives.

Allison has done a wonderful job in combining the
real-life issues of weight loss surgery with a fictional character. The story
of Dee Decker is as informative as it is entertaining. I enjoyed learning about
Dee Decker's journey and how her weight loss surgery changed her life in so
many ways. Although it is purely fictional, I have no doubt the story Allison
has fashioned will impact many people in a positive manner.
