Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Anna on March 23, 2015

I'm a sucker for redemption stories, but I'm not a sucker for an easy fix. Gawd help me, this is a lovely book with pitch-perfect writing that captures the essence of the South. But voice can only carry a book so far, like a shiny new Cadillac running on empty. This book, however, has a full tank an......more
