The Rector's Wedding - Graf, Elena

. .

Résumé :
Rev. Lucy Bartlett's life couldn't be more perfect. She's turned around her crumbling church. She's finishing her doctorate and publishing her first book. Best of all, she is engaged to marry her soulmate, Dr. Liz Stolz. Once a world-famous opera singer, Lucy has been coaching the church's transgender music director, who hopes to relaunch her career as a natural alto. When Denise lands an audition with a major orchestra, she knows that the conductor is only using her to lure Lucy into performing again. To show her support, Lucy agrees to do the concert, but after the triumphant performance, she is inundated with offers for singing engagements. The temptation to restart her musical career throws everything in Lucy's life in doubt-her faith, her future as a pastor, her fulfilling life in Hobbs, even her marriage to the woman she loves.
