Description de l’éditeur
Pastor Albertina Merci, the former blues singer turned minister, juggles rap, romance, family, and faith in the third book in this delightful series.
The unexpected arrival of fifteen-year-old rapper J Love hits Pastor Merci with the force of a whirlwind. When J’s mother is killed in a tragic bus accident, Albertina is named his legal guardian. The situation quickly complicates her budding romance with Mario, the owner of a thriving L.A. café.
As Albertina struggles to keep things on an even keel, J embarks on a dangerous journey of his own. Seduced by Bishop Henry Gold’s daughter Damitra, J abandons his career as a gospel rapper and joins the flashy, materialistic world of gangsta rap. Pastor Merci must draw on every ounce of faith she has to bring everyone’s voyage to a happy ending.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this third book about Pastor Albertina Merci, the feisty African-American blues singer-cum-evangelist, Albertina takes in her teenage godson, J Love, a gospel rapper who's just lost his mom. As J Love slowly works through his grief and learns some lessons in responsibility, he and Albertina encounter other characters: Bishop Henry Gold, the ambitious T.D. Jakes styled megachurch pastor who tangled with Albertina in Stay Out of the Kitchen!; his daughter Damitra, a sultry gospel singer who's hot for J Love; and in an underdeveloped subplot Albertina's nephew Patrick, whose non-Christian wife is finally plunging into the baptismal waters. The best part of this series remains its heroine, a font of spiritual wisdom who can still throw down the blues like nobody else.
