Reseña del libro "Son of a Preacher Man: A Novel (en Inglés)"
“I forget that you’re a fella sometimes.”“Gee, thanks.”I never forgot that she was a girl. Not for one second…It’s 1959 — and although the country is poised at the edge of a tidal wave of social change, Billy Ray Davenport anticipates living a traditional, predictable life. Handsome, principled, and keenly observant, he arrives in town to lodge with the Millers, the local doctor’s family. Billy Ray has visited the small Southern town of Orchard Hill several times when he accompanied his father, a widowed traveling minister. But he never bargained for Lizzie Quinlan—a complex, kindred spirit who is beautiful and compassionate, yet scorned by the townsfolk. Could a girl with a reputation be different than she seems? 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.A realistic look at first love, told by an idealistic young man, Son of a Preacher Man is a heartwarming coming of age tale set in a simpler time.“Love has power we disregard at our peril...”For readers of romance, 20th century Southern Fiction, Coming-of-Age stories, family sagas, and women's fiction.
