Connie Beal, the Preacher Lady, steps out on her own at mid-life, moving to her first solo assignment as a pastor. Suzanne Waring’s novel takes Connie through her first year at Old West Church where she beats down the antagonism of being a woman in what is considered by some a man’s job, while attempting to revitalize a traditional church.
Knowing that she is inexperienced, Connie seeks guidance from multiple sources as she strives to help her congregation with age-old problems.
