Welcome to Grand Prairie, Louisiana--land of confounding accents,
hard-drinking senior citizens, and charming sinners--brought to
hilarious life in a bracing, heartfelt debut novel simmering with
Cajun spice. . .
Father Steve Sibille has come home to the bayou to take charge
of St. Pete's church. Among his challenges are teenybopper altar
girls, insomnia-curing confessions, and alarmingly alluring
congregant Vicky Carrier. Then there's Miss Rita, an irrepressible
centenarian with a taste for whiskey, cracklins, and sticking her
nose in other people's business.
When an outsider threatens to poach Father Steve's flock, Miss
Rita suggests he fight back by staging an event that will keep St.
Pete's parishioners loyal forever. As The First Annual Grand
Prairie Rabbit Festival draws near, help comes from the strangest
places. And while the road to the festival may be paved with good
intentions--not to mention bake sales, an elephant, and the most
bizarre cook-out ever--where it will lead is anyone's guess. .
