The Rock Orchard
Author(s): Paula Wall
Some women can touch a man and heal like Jesus. The man who sees sunrise from a Belle woman's bed will swear he's been born again.
When it came to men, Charlotte Belle strictly ascribed to the law of catch and release. As soon as she could get a man out of her bed, she threw him back in the stream. No, Charlotte did not need a man. She had money. She had her driver, Mr. Nalls, for heavy lifting. Sex? Her pond was well stocked. What else does a woman need a man for? And so it comes as quite a surprise to Charlotte that she can not stop thinking about the Reverend Thomas Jones.
In The Rock Orchard, debut novelist Paula Wall uses sexy, lyrical prose -- and throws in a dash of magic -- to create a truly unique and hysterical love story.
Review(s):
"Wall's created a crystalline world so full of one-of-a-kind characters...you can't help but enjoy your visit."
-- New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult
"The legendary Belle family women of Leaper's Fork, Tennessee, sparkle to life in this fine debut novel."
-- Publishers Weekly
"Wall's writing...sizzles."
-- Nashville Scene
