When God Wrecks Your Romance is a co-authored memoir, written by a newly ordained priest (Matt Fase, CSC) and a young, married mother of four children (Amanda Vernon). It's the story of two young kids who fall for each other as teens, but ultimately do not end up together. It's pretty much the opposite of a quaint and dreamy Hollywood ending. Yet, it certainly is a happily ever after.

". . . Amanda and Fr. Matt haven’t written a vocations fairy tale, they’ve given us one better: a true-to-life example of what it means to 'hear' God calling you forward and to choose your response. It’s hard to think of a book this good at showing spiritual growth." —Steven Lewis, Creator of Steve the Missionary
"When God Wrecks Your Romance is a well-crafted love story that is relatable as well as endearing. . . . Even as a non-practicing Catholic, this story had a way of inviting me in and keeping me entertained." —Kim Collier, Founder of Brown Girls Who Write
"Far from being a sappy romantic story with a predictable ending, When God Wrecks Your Romance is a beautiful and faith-filled account of love and the human desire for true happiness. At times thought provoking, at other times touching and tender, these reflections are honest and real." —Bishop William A. Wack, CSC, Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee
