A heart-warming comedy of manners set in an English country town.

Neil Fisher's first trip to Dunbridge was not a success. Having inadvertently locked himself in St Stephen's Church for hours (and succumbing to the communion wine and wafers for dinner) it seemed miraculous they gave him the curate's job! On arrival in the small town of Dunbridge it quickly becomes clear that life is not going to be tranquil for the eligible new bachelor, as four formidable women are determined to make their presence felt. There is his mother, Iris, still questioning his choice of career; his rector, the no-nonsense Margaret, who is not one for taking prisoners; Claire, his new neighbour, whom he's already managed to offend. And then there is Wendy, the beautiful leading light of the church music group, who has her own plans for Neil: It can only end in trouble. "I really feel for Neil Fisher - whenever he trips up, it's in full public glare! This book moves you to tears one minute, then has you laughing out loud the next." - Aled Jones, broadcaster and singer "Pam's book is a great read! It's a tale of real people who laugh, have fun and love life. I commend it warmly." - George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury Pam Rhodes has presented the world's number one religious television programme, Songs of Praise, for many years. She has written five other novels, including With Hearts and Hymns and Voices.
