The Trouble With Husbands: A Christian Romantic Comedy (The Murphy Girls Book 7)

Five friends. Five husbands. One mountain. And absolutely no one is sticking to the plan.

Sophie Keller Chambers has a plan for everything.

So when she learns that Still Waters Mountain Retreat—the place where she and her four best friends first met—is about to be sold, she does what any reasonable woman would do.

She books the entire camp.

It is non-refundable.

Now their husbands are coming too, which means one weekend brings five longtime friends and the men they’ve married together on a mountain with a broken generator, a questionable footbridge, a rising creek, and considerably more unresolved business than Sophie has accounted for.

There is a flooded creek. A fifty-one-pound espresso machine that is not helping. Five men who barely know one another suddenly sharing a lodge. Five women who know each other far too well. And enough cinnamon rolls, coffee, group-chat messages, and strong opinions to make keeping everyone alive seem easier than keeping the weekend on schedule.

But Still Waters isn’t the only thing they have brought up the mountain.

Claire and Nate are waiting for a phone call that could change their family forever. Drew is facing a career decision that could take him away from the life he and Sophie have built. Kate is carrying something she has not told anyone. Gail is preparing to leave the place she has spent a lifetime keeping alive. And beneath all the laughter, every one of them is learning what it means to trust God with something they cannot control.

As the water rises and the carefully laid plans begin to wash away, the friends discover something they should have known all along:

Sometimes God doesn’t answer by giving you back the thing you’re trying to save.

Sometimes He shows you what you were really trying to save in the first place.

Funny, warm, faith-filled, and full of unforgettable friendship, The Trouble with Husbands is a Christian romantic comedy about five marriages, five best friends, the men who become friends themselves, and one extraordinary weekend that changes all of them.
