Synopsis

In “Badass Christian,” readers are plunged into the tumultuous life of Sugar, a girl adopted at birth into a provincial Southern black religious family. As she grows, Sugar mimics the adults around her, absorbing their hypocrisy and contradictions. This internal conflict drives her to distance herself from her religious roots, feeling the weight of their expectations and the sting of their judgment.

Her path crosses with Reverend Bebo, a local preacher whose own fall from grace mirrors her spiritual turmoil. Together, they embark on a forbidden journey of love, challenging the very foundations of their faith and community.

Through the eyes of a lifelong churchgoer, “Badass Christian” unveils the raw and unfiltered complexities of small-town Protestantism, giving voice to the congregants and their struggles. Amidst the emotional highs and lows, the novel weaves in Biblical wisdom, illustrating that God’s grace is sufficient for even the most rebellious souls.

This narrative resonates with current religious events, such as the recent fall from grace of prominent religious leaders, who stepped down due to inappropriate online behavior, and the ongoing scandals involving other high-profile pastors. These real-life stories of moral failure and redemption echo the themes of “Badass Christian,” highlighting the universal struggle between faith and human frailty.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An old African American grandmother tries to instill spiritual values in her willful naïve granddaughter before she dies, but Sugar would need more than old wives’ tales for her Gen-X, dirty-south world, she would need faith of her own.
