The Deacon's Girls

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE HAYDEN'S HOME FOR SUNDAY DINNER Many, like Richard Spencer, have come before you and were never the same again. Delight in the joy, the sorrow, the challenges, and the ordinary with a family that somehow manages to love unconditionally. As you sit down to a feast prepared by Hannah Hayden, a prayer will be offered by Adam, known as "the Deacon." One son, four daughters, and a growing collection of grandchildren will welcome you, warm you, and make you feel right at home. It may look like bedlam, but it is life-together. Feel free to join them. You may never want to leave. EVE GEIGER is a teacher, counselor, and children and youth leader. She has spent most of her life in Texas surrounded by large extended family. This is her first novel, a creation of a place where any of her kin would gladly join in.
