The 11-Fingered Jesus

"Nobody ever told me Jesus had eleven fingers. Every kid in Sunday School drew Jesus as a white man with a toga, long beard, and no shoes. Grandma often spoke of Jesus’ miracles like walking across fish ponds, healing a blind man, and making fine wine, the same kind Grandma drinks. And that guest preacher at First Church downtown swore everyone would burn in hell forever if we did not believe in Jesus. But in all my 21 years, not one person ever mentioned Jesus’ eleven fingers."Meet Epiphany -- naïve and wise, timid and brave, homesick and adventurous. She loves her Southern hometown with its one world-famous barbeque restaurant, two banks, five stoplights, and ten churches. Epiphany keeps a list of dreams in her sock drawer, methodically planning her future. Then a mysterious French stranger comes to town, changing Epiphany's life forever. In her third book and first novel, Cathy Cook introduces a cast of delightful characters in Southern storytelling that both celebrates and challenges small-town culture.
