God of River Mud: A Novel

Are you ready to dive into a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel unlike any other? Introducing God of River Mud, a captivating story that delves deep into the complexities of innate desires and LGBTQ identity within the confines of a fundamentalist Christian community.

With its alternating perspectives, this novel takes you on a journey through the lives of Berna Minor, her husband Zechariah, their four children, and Berna's secret lover. Set in rural Clay, West Virginia, the book explores the struggles of this family as they grapple with the oppressive expectations imposed upon them by their faith.

Berna's commitment to her husband's faith is put to the test when she falls in love with Jordan, a person who has known since childhood that their true identity is that of a man. Berna's internalized conflict of wanting to be the devoted wife and mother she believes God wants her to be, while also yearning to live authentically, forms the powerful core of this story.

But it's not just Berna who undergoes a journey of self-discovery. Each member of the family wrestles with the clash between their traditional evangelical Bible culture and the rapidly changing world around them. Additionally, Jordan seeks a life where they can truly be themselves and receive unconditional love and acceptance.

Amidst themes of faith, love, belonging, and identity, God of River Mud explores the struggle faced by those marginalized within a religious patriarchy. As the characters evolve and their stories intertwine, unexpected sympathies develop, leading to a poignant exploration of reconciliation.
