Product Overview
Whats it like when the man you married is already married to God? asks Pastors Wives, an often surprising yet always emotionally true first novel set in a world most of us know only from the outside.
Lisa Takeuchi Cullens debut novel Pastors Wives follows three women whose lives converge and intertwine at a Southern evangelical megachurch. Ruthie follows her Wall Street husband from New York to Magnolia, a fictional suburb of Atlanta, when he hears a calling to serve at a megachurch called Greenleaf. Reeling from the death of her mother, Ruthie suffers a crisis of faithin God, in her marriage, and in herself. Candace is Greenleafs First Lady, a force of nature wholl stop at nothing to protect her church and her superstar husband. Ginger, married to Candaces son, struggles to play dutiful wife and mother while burying her calamitous past. All their roads collide in one chaotic event that exposes their true selves. Inspired by Cullens reporting as a staff writer for Time magazine, Pastors Wives is a dramatic portrayal of the private lives of pastors wives, caught between the demands of faith, marriage, duty, and love.
