Mississippi, 1963. Essie Lee Lane is a small-town girl from a humble background who doesn't take "stuff" from nobody. Yet even she isn't ready for the Reverend Theophilus Simmons, one of the South's most fiery, respected young preachers during an era of vast social change. Down-to-earth, caring, and oh-so-fine, he's everything Essie never thought she'd find in a man, and he realizes she is everything a pastor needs in a wife--a First Lady to share the joys and challenges of his ministry. But Essie and Theophilus's church will be no honeymoon. With their parishioners in turmoil and their denomination facing a major scandal, Essie and Theophilus must put their faith and love to the ultimate test as they struggle to lead their congregation to God's sweetest rewards.
Funny, Funny, Funny!!!!
Builds a little slowly at times, but all in all this is a good, laugh-out-loud kind of book. Doesn't matter what race or faith you are, this book will make you smile and laugh.
