Description
Lovejoy, a novel about desire, is inspired by a chance sighting of an older man who had been deeply in love with more than one woman. This story is part autobiography, as the author recounts how she came to write it.
The love story begins in a Southern church where desire for God is often confused with desire for a lover. It follows the encounter between Lovejoy and a Southern belle who cannot resist his charms.
