About the Book

In "Delayed Not Denied: The Journey of Singleness - It’s Worth The W.A.IT.” I offer a candid exploration of my experiences and the profound insights I've gained along the way. Guided by the principles of W.A.I.T.—Seek Wisdom, Keep Asking, Be Intentional, Trust God's Timing—I share not just a narrative, but a beacon of solidarity for every single woman. This book is a reminder that singleness is not a waiting room but a transformative journey filled with opportunities for growth and self-discovery. So, to every single woman feeling weary or contemplating giving up, remember, you're not alone. Together, let’s embrace the beauty of our singleness, knowing that love will come in due time—and it will be worth the W.A.I.T.

What People Are Saying

  • “Vanessa Farrell has bared her soul in this book, vulnerably sharing her journey of singlehood in a world that often invalidates a single Christian woman’s purpose. Part memoir, reflection, and research, this book shows readers that they are not alone in the quest to live a life that pleases God in every season of life.”

    Michelle Stimpson - Best Selling Author, Speaker & Journaling Coach

  • “Author Vanessa Farrell explores an issue facing a significant number of women. The revelation of her experiences is powerful, and her jewels on how to walk the path of waiting are transformative. It’s a pleasure to read this body of work.”

    Lorna Fairweather - Retired Professor

  • “Vanessa Farrell’s well-written, captivating account of her personal journey in singleness is deeply inspiring. Each page bears powerful witness to God’s providential care, and the points to ponder lead the reader on a trail toward greater hope, faith, and trust in His perfect timing.” 

    Ann Marie Dewar - Educator, Training Designer/Facilitator, and Author 

  • “Delayed Not Denied is a book that hits the right chords and the right notes in the single life of a woman. As I read the book, I found that emotionally and spiritually it was very relatable: as Vanessa told her story, I saw myself. This book is a narrative of faith. It also tells us that there is hope in this walk with God, and we are not left out. Just as He was with Ruth and other great women of the Bible, God is very much the author of our life stories. You won’t regret getting a copy for yourself. As a single woman, no matter your age, it will be one of the best investments you will ever make in your life as you journey with God.”

    Sonja Smith Chief Librarian - Montserrat Public Library

  • “With remarkable vulnerability and personal stories that range from heartbreaking to hysterical, Vanessa Farrell shares her journey of singleness as she W.A.I.T.s for her future husband. Universal themes such as navigating blind dates, confronting infidelity, and battling menopause remind us of the many ties that bind us as women. The points to ponder at the end of each chapter invite readers to explore their own experiences. This book is a must-read for any woman who ever was, is, or will be single.”
