From the author of the popular Mildred Budge series comes a new kind of love story about a different kind of Southern church lady.

Franklin Lovejoy is an attractive, eligible widower, and the church is full of ladies who want to sit beside him. They crawl over pews and one another to get to him. For some it is a form of Sunday morning entertainment.

Lovejoy enjoys the company of a variety women, and he is amused by his widespread appeal. That doesn't mean he is immune to the consequences of a deep attraction between himself and a mature Southern church lady who has a reputation for being a troublemaker in the church. Cindy is an opinionated outlier, and Lovejoy finds her fascinating. His attraction to her is the first time that Cindy feels welcome and wanted. And that is the crux of the gospel invitation personified here in the story of two highly flawed human beings.

It is an irresistible dynamic that sparks a great curiosity about who this man is and what his love means to one woman. And what it has been to the women he loved before. Aside from the subtle theme explored here about the effectiveness of mission outreach strategies, if you know how attractive an older man can be and if you understand that real desire is different than random lust for entertainment, this love story is one you won't forget.
