Newly widowed Lilla Barton, the minister's wife, refuses to move out of her church-owned house to make way for the new minister. Lilla and her late husband single-handedly designed and built the church vicarage in their small Alabama town. But now that her husband has passed on, an eccentric collection of church personalities is trying to get her evicted. A sympathetic bishop and a church elder try to help, but ultimately Lilla’s own resilience, vulnerability, and courage make this story soar.
You won’t want to miss this delightful portrait of an unforgettable Southern woman who defies small-town church politics and rediscovers the courage that’s waiting to be found in each of us.
