About Pastors' Wives: What's it like when the man you married is already married to God? asks Pastors' Wives, an often surprising yet always emotionally true first novel set in a world most of us know only from the outside. Lisa Takeuchi Cullen's debut novel Pastors' Wives follows three women whose lives converge and intertwine at a Southern evangelical megachurch. Ruthie follows her Wall Street husband from New York to Magnolia, a fictional suburb of Atlanta, when he hears a calling to serve at a megachurch called Greenleaf. Reeling from the death of her mother, Ruthie suffers a crisis of faith---in God, in her marriage, and in herself. Candace is Greenleaf's "First Lady," a force of nature who'll stop at nothing to protect her church and her superstar husband. Ginger, married to Candace's son, struggles to play dutiful wife and mother while burying her calamitous past. All their roads collide in one chaotic event that exposes their true selves. Inspired by Cullen's reporting as a staff writer for Time magazine, Pastors' Wives is a dramatic portrayal of the private lives of pastors' wives, caught between the demands of faith, marriage, duty, and love.

My Review; When I read Pastor's Wives it was nice to be able to see that everyone has obstacles that they need to overcome in a marriage, even if your husband is a man who has answered a calling to serve in a different state, and start a whole new life. Sometimes we tend to forget that Pastors are also people. This is a novel about women who ask themselves a question, "what is the price of loving a man of God?" I really enjoyed reading how their stories come together. The way Lisa Takeuchi Cullen writes about characters, you start to feel as if you know these people and they are real. It was really comical in some parts and I loved it all. I give this book a 5/5 and will be waiting for another novel by this author.
