Synopsis

1959. The long, hot summer bakes the sleepy, Southern town of Orchard Hill. Billy Ray Davenport, an aspiring physician and only son of an indomitable traveling minister, is a young man with a plan that starts with working in a small-town doctor’s office before he begins medical school in the fall. Handsome, principled, and keenly observant, he will lodge with the Millers, the local doctor’s family. But he never bargained for Lizzie Quinlan—a complex, kindred spirit who is beautiful and compassionate, yet scorned by the townsfolk. With her quirky wisdom and a spine of steel hidden beneath an effortless sensuality, Lizzie is about to change Billy Ray’s life—and his heart—forever. Winner of the 2019 Kentucky Indie Author Project for adult fiction.

Son of a Preacher Man is a beautiful romance with an introspective tone that along with its characters take us into a journey of self discovery and acceptance from their teenage years into adulthood.

Goodreads review by Lisa on May 30, 2018

Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down until I had completed it! I highly, HIGHLY recommend it!!!! I loved how the story tackled the prejudices and stereotypes of the time period. Lizzy was ridiculed for her physical attributes, and was presumed to be "easy". The constant harassmen......more
