"Sweet Jesus" by Christine Pountney

This story follows three siblings as they decide to take a road trip to a Mega Church in Kansas where their mother once had a "powerful faith experience."

Connie is the oldest and a mother of three living on Vancouver Island. Her world spins out of control when she learns that her husband has led their family to financial ruin.

Hannah lives in Toronto with Norm. She desperately wants to have a baby, but Norm is determined not to become a father.

Zeus was adopted into the Crowe family when he was 8. He barely knows his sisters (when he joined the family they were in university). Zeus left the family when he was 15, after his adoptive father (who is a pastor) discovered him in the garage with his high school boyfriend. Following the devastating loss of his partner, he decides to head to New Mexico in search of his birth parents.

This was an interesting read. I liked it. I think you will too!
