Bethany Moreton: IMG Culture War on Aisle 5? Wal-Mart, Evangelicals, and "Extreme Capitalism"



"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Those Pearly Gates (Homegrown)

by Julie Cannon

Those Pearly Gates (Homegrown) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The heartwarming saga of Imo Lavender and her spirited family continues in a third installment of the beloved Homegrown series.

Life is moving on for Imogene Lavender, and reluctantly she leaves her farm in rural Georgia to follow her new husband, Reverend Peddigrew, into town to live in the parsonage. Her struggle to adjust is not what she expects when she begins feeling the all-too-perfect presence of the Reverend's late wife. The move also leaves Imo's niece Loutishie resentful and stretching her faith to find a way back to her beloved farm. Imo's daughter, Jeanette — a beautician at the Kuntry Kut 'n' Kurl married to a reverend of her own — is so afraid of becoming a "church lady" that she secretly enters an erotic bull-riding contest. But a devastating event forces Jeanette to see that beauty is not just skin deep, and when Imo's neighbors suffer a great tragedy, she learns what it really means to be a reverend's wife by helping to restore their faith.

Review:

"A poignant, humorous look at extended family relations in a rural community."

Review:

"A picture window raised wide open on small-town life in the South."

-- The Asheville Citizen-Time

Review:

"The third installment of Cannon's joyous Homegrown series reunites readers with Imo, Loutishie, and Jeannette two years after both Imo and Jeannette have married local ministers....With such genuinely admirable characters and engaging story lines, Cannon's endearing series is solidly established."

-- Booklist

Review:

"You'll want to share the Homegrown novels with your mother and best friends."

-- Michael Lee West, author of Mad Girls in Love
