Most men barely survive one mother, but Terrance Ellis has three -- his aunts. His grandmother Essies sisters -- Eva, Dorothy Mae, and Mamie -- lovingly raised him after Essie died in a tragic accident. They made sure that troubled young Terrance got on the right path and made something of his life. And now that hes all grown up and the rising pastor of Houstons Lily Grove church, the endlessly argumentative sisters agree on one thing: Terrance needs to find a wife. And not just any wife -- but the right young woman to stand beside him as First Lady of Lily Grove at the fast-approaching one-hundredth-year Christmas service.
Humble and handsome, Terrance is focused on preaching more than dating and has kindly fended off the advances of more than a few perfectly available ladies. So why, of all women, is outrageous, flirtatious Savannah McKinney drawing him in? Seeing Terrance falling under her seductive spell has got his aunts frantically matchmaking since time is running out and gossip is flying. Who will be the pastors wife? Only heaven knows for sure...and before he finds her, some surprising and dramatic revelations are in store for Terrance, his congregation, and the three aunts who love him most in the world.
"We are all created equal"
Yes, even Christians are created equally!!
ReShonda is a great writer; I've enjoyed majority of her work. This book is no different. She takes her time to develop the story and the characters are...well just that - CHARACTERS!
The story is great, no different than protective family members over 'an untouched or clean thing' - they were just 'protecting their nephew (although their methods were drastic)They simply wanted to protect their vested interest (Terrance & the church)Savannah is no different than any other woman who attempts to 'get at' a good brother [using drastic measures; I do believe that she really liked Terrance; despite her past & her conniving ways; (she's simply a product of her upbringing)]
The ending has a twist to it though regarding who Terrance ends up with b/c it just proves that "In life we're always 'searching for the ONE & sometimes 'the one' has been there all alone & knows us better than we know ourselves!"
