Reading Pastors’ Wives can be likened to watching Desperate Housewives. All it takes is for one chaotic event to bring these ladies to the edge and expose their true selves! If bringing these three women together sounds like the recipe for the perfect storm, you’re right. Candace will do whatever it takes to protect her church and her charismatic, superstar husband.įinally, there’s Ginger – Candace’s daughter-in-law – a woman who strives to be a good wife and mother while trying to hide a calamitous past. Then there’s Candace – Greenleaf’s “First Lady” herself. Ruthie is transplanted from New York to Georgia when her husband accepts a job to serve as the Associate Pastor of Greenleaf Church. Pastors’ Wives is the fictional account of three women whose lives converge and intertwine at a Southern evangelical mega-church.įirst there’s Ruthie – the Catholic woman who is suffering a crisis of faith after the death of her mother. These are the questions that Catholic writer Lisa Takeuchi Cullen asked when interviewing pastors’ wives for a Time Magazine article several years ago – and these are the questions she explores in her debut novel, Pastors’ Wives. What would it be like to be married to the pastor of a large mega-church? What would your life be like if the man you married was also married to God? How would you react if one day, out of the blue, your husband decided to leave Wall Street and go into ministry?
