“Cullen's story of these three pastors' wives--their characters, their husbands, their conflicts, and the world of Greenleaf Church--is riveting, perceptive, and funny. Once you pick up this novel, you won’t be able to put it down." –Gretchen Rubin, New York Times Bestselling author of The Happiness Project

“As a journalist, I've been trying for a decade to help readers understand the emotional nuance and social complexity of life inside a megachurch. Nothing I've read even comes close to Cullen's shrewdly observed and utterly empathic writing in Pastors’ Wives. That said, by Chapter Two I had completely forgotten that I was reading fiction written by a crack reporter, I was too busy alternating between fits of laughter and multiple-Kleenex sobs. I can't stop thinking about what this book has to say about love, struggle, and commitment, not just to a faith, but to our families and our very selves.” –Lauren Sandler, author of Righteous: Dispatches from the Evangelical Youth Movement

“With a reporter’s eye for detail and a writer’s heart for the everyday truths we all face... a terrific first novel, fast-paced and fresh, full of sly wit and compassion.” -Laura Zigman
