Book excerpt: From USA Today Bestselling author Sally Kilpatrick comes a folksy, uplifting story of everyday sinners and saints. All Beulah Land wants is to play piano in her favorite honky tonk, take care of her elderly bestie, and thumb her nose at the church across the road. Life has other plans. Soon Beulah finds herself playing piano in the very place she swore she’d never enter again. The church choir goes on strike, the minister is as irritating as he is handsome, and everyone has an opinion on what Beulah should do with her life. So what’s a girl to do? Create her own misfit choir out of barflies. In the process, she creates a community who challenges her to rethink all she’s held to be true. But, in the end, will Beulah be able to overcome her bitterness and grief? Laugh out loud funny yet poignant with life’s grittier side, The Happy Hour Choir will have you singing along with its reminder that everyone deserves to be loved.
