The Murphy Girls

 

Five women. Four area codes. One group chat that has never once been about logistics.

They met on a mountain during a flood, and they named the chat Murphy's Law because everything that could go wrong had. The name stuck. So did they.

Eight years later they are scattered across four states and still incapable of letting one another suffer quietly. Sophie plans four hundred weddings a year and has cried at none of them. Jenna has one oven and a banner that says GRAND SOFT. Brooke has time-blocked her own rest. Kate has left eleven towns without being asked to stay. And Claire is paying rent on three storage units and cannot tell you what is in any of them.

Then a divorce attorney opens an office one block from Sophie's bridal district. A rival baker sets up four doors down from Jenna. A maple farmer strands Brooke on a mountain for two weeks. Somebody takes Kate's chair at eight-ten. And a man whose entire business is helping people let go stands in front of Claire's boxes and opens his hands.

Five men. None of whom meant to cause this much trouble.

One by one, life is about to go catastrophically wrong for all five of them.

Which, as it turns out, is how it goes right.

The Murphy Girls is a series of Christian romantic comedies set in five small towns — clean, Christ-centered, and full of casseroles with agendas, church bulletins that should not contain a seeded bracket, and one ugly dented coffee percolator that has attended more weddings than most of the guests.

Each book follows a different couple to a happily-ever-after. Best read in order.
