title: Pastors' Wives: A Novel
author:  Lisa Takeuchi Cullen 
description: Ruthie Matters was raised Catholic, but when her husband hears a call to serve, she follows him to a megachurch in Magnolia, Georgia. There, among the suburban lawns and smoothie bars, she takes on the unpaid job of pastors wife and publicist for Greenleaf megachurch. Pastor Aarons wife, Candace, is, for better or worse, her role model, and she is a force to be reckoned with. Candaces daughter-in-law, Ginger, struggles to balance two young children and her husbands growing following, but she lacks Candaces grace and confidence, not to mention her approval. The strength of this first novel by the author of Remember Me: A Lively Tour of the New American Way of Death (2007) lies in characterization. Each woman is complicated enough to avoid stereotyping, especially Candace (although she does have some wonderful ice-queen moments). As each faces threats to her way of lifebad publicity, secrets from the past, temptationeach comes to her own conclusions about faith and her place in the community. Engaging, funny, and thoughtful, this is a book that can bring Christian-fiction and secular womens fiction readers together. --Susan Maguire
