Tabernacle Marc Cavella

Edward Jones is an easygoing Southern salesman whose company only assigns him their most important contracts. But that's not a problem for Edward; after all, the more important contracts equal more money in his pockets.

And even though his Papaw and Daddy also did this same kind of work, they never came up against anything as complicated as Edward's latest assignment: Dr. Jared Young, a generous parochial-school headmaster with a gorgeous wife and three wonderful sons, all thriving in an idyllic community up in Hutchinson County. Jared and his family don't know it yet, but Edward's going to do everything in his power--like temporarily adopting a destitute-yet-philosophical Mexican child and buying armloads of retina-searing John Cena t-shirts--to turn their world entirely upside down, all so he can earn his biggest commission yet.

Equal parts satirical dark comedy, neo-Western thriller, and meditation on modern manhood--with an adorable Yorkshire Terrier thrown in for good measure--Tabernacle will have readers (and, with a little bit of luck, Jared Young himself) hooked on its unpredictable plot and wicked sense of humor before they even know what's hit them.
