Father Pat Connor, author of WHOM NOT TO MARRY: Time-Tested Advice from a Higher Authority (Hyperion; April 27, 2010; Hardcover; $22.99)

The quest to find "the one," and furthermore, lasting happiness in love is ubiquitous. We see this everywhere from romantic comedies like He's Just Not That Into You to JDate to the constant stream of relationship advice handed out in every issue of Cosmo and Glamour. In his witty and wise book, WHOM NOT TO MARRY: Time-Tested Advice from a Higher Authority, Australian Catholic priest Father Pat Connor, who has counseled couples, young women, and divorcées for the past fifty years, offers advice on how to achieve healthy relationships, and ultimately, marriages. This guide acknowledges that although we all look for love different kinds of love, we should all ask ourselves the same questions before taking the plunge. Father Pat helps us to understand what we do not want in a relationship, so that, in the end, we can achieve what we do want.
