Son of a Preacher Man by Karen M Cox, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

“I forget that you’re a fella sometimes."“Gee, thanks."I never forgot that she was a girl. Not for one second…1959. The long, hot Southern summer bakes the sleepy town of Orchard Hill. Billy Ray Davenport, an aspiring physician and only son of an indomitable traveling minister, is a young man with a plan that starts with working in a small-town doctor’s office before he begins medical school in the fall. Handsome, principled, and keenly observant, he arrives in town to lodge with the Millers, the local doctor’s family. He never bargained for Lizzie Quinlan—a complex, kindred spirit who is beautiful and compassionate, yet scorned by the townsfolk. Could a girl with a reputation be different than she seems? With her quirky wisdom and a spine of steel hidden beneath an effortless sensuality, Lizzie is about to change Billy Ray’s life—and his heart—forever. A realistic look at first love, told by an idealistic young man, Son of a Preacher Man is a heartwarming coming of age tale set in a simpler time. For readers of romance, 20th century Southern Fiction, Coming-of-Age stories, family sagas, and women's fiction. | Son of a Preacher Man by Karen M Cox, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
