* In love with the wrong, or forbidden, person? St. Dwynwen will help, no questions asked.
* Found the right one and want to make it last? St. Monica is your gal.
* Plus: a cake recipe that can bring you visions of true love...help for ugly ducklings, the newly single, and the broken-hearted...a pancake ritual that will make you irresistible...special days for love...and more...
Witty and informative, irresistibly packaged with original four-color illustrations throughout, Dear Saint Anne, Send Me a Man is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day and all the year round.

From Publishers Weekly
In the catchy title department, there's Dear Saint Anne, Send Me a Man: And Other Time-Honored Prayers for Love, by Alice and Clare LaPlante. The sisters, whose good humor was evident in their previous book, Heaven Help Us: The Worrier's Guide to the Patron Saints, offer amusing tips for the lovelorn. Here's the full text of the Saint Anne prayer: "Dear St. Anne, send me a man. If he lies or if he dies, please, Mary's mother, send me another." Sprinkled throughout such tongue-in-cheek prayers are interesting historical anecdotes about the saints.
