Product DescriptionFor thirtytwoyearold Sarah Chizeck, marriage was not an option, but an expectation. She was raised to believe that a womans main focus is to get married and start a family, and she put everything else on hold to accomplish this goal.So when she finally marries her boyfriend of five years, Sarah and her family are ecstatic. But underneath Sarahs smiles, something else is lurking.Sarahs career and personal interests were not all she put on hold to pursue marriage. She also put her feelings on the backburner and buried her emotions. But when she reluctantly goes to Hawaii for her honeymoon, these things come to the surface, and she is both pleased and alarmed by the sensory experiences she encounters.Terrified by her attraction to a handsome young concierge, Sarah is forced to confront her new feelings, as well as what she previously ignored, and she ultimately comes to shocking revelations about her upbringing, marriage, and future.Imperfect Paradise tells the compelling story of Sarahs internal awakening and delivers a powerful message about hope, happiness, and finding your place in the world. A classic romance with a contemporary twist, it is sure to appeal to fans of modern, liberating fiction.ReviewDembiczak paints a realistic, firstperson portrait of a woman at her wits' end....She's a poignant example of a woman who settles for comfort and security, and readers get the thrill of watching those priorities unravel; at one point, Sarah describes herself as 'a bored housewife concocting her own dilemma to convince herself she was still complicated.' Overall, although this novel's protagonist is no grand heroine, she's definitely relatable and easy for readers to root for.A pleasant read for both its lush tropical setting and uplifting message.Kirkus ReviewAbout the AuthorDan Dembiczak is a Seattle native who began writing stories as soon as he could spell.
