Church Folk

Theophilus Henry Simmons is young, single, sexy, & just about the finest black man any wishful mother & daughter have ever seen in Charleston, Mississippi. He's also a pastor. And when he starts courting the quiet, homespun Essie Lee Lane--& she accepts his marriage proposal--a few of the church folk decide to teach Essie what it really means to be a pastor's wife, & show her how little she knows about them. But as Theophilus gains prominence in his denomination, Essie evolves from a mousy parishioner into an independent & Godly woman. Now sporting an afro & driving her new purple Cadillac, Essie teaches the church folk what it really means to stand by your man--& your beliefs.Bowen, Michele Andrea is the author of 'Church Folk' with ISBN 9780446527996 and ISBN 0446527998.
