Chloe Sach's groom brings his foot down on the linen-wrapped glass and instead of hearing a satisfying crunch, they watch in horror from under the chuppah as the glass shoots across the room, bounces off a wall, and rolls unbroken to a stop. Chloe hears a voice inside her head that says "run". After years as the sane person in her wacky, mixed-up family, who knew that the first time she heard a voice in her head, she'd actually obey it?
Chloe finds herself homeless (her former fiance doesn't want to share a house with her anymore - go figure!) and jobless (was it really her idea to hire that overeager intern?). She retreats to the family rental bungalow outside rural Winters, California, that belonged to her great-aunt Laura until she choked on a green apple Jolly Rancher. Looking for peace and serenity, instead she finds a secret stash of letters inside a dismantled wall - and begins piecing together some surprising truths about herself and her family's history.
Complete with etiquette tips for the runaway bride, Un-Bridaled is a quirky, heartwarming tale that follows its heroine as she learns that sometimes the right path is not down the aisle and that the craziest thing you do can sometimes turn out to be the sanest.
Chloe Sachs runs out on her wedding -- and ends up finding herself. A surprisingly moving, engrossing read.
