If life is what happens when you're making other plans…then new life is what happens when you're making no plans whatsoever.
All Asa Cranford wants is to be a mom. Instead, Asa is a forty-year-old ex–high school football star with a full Encyclopaedia Britannica, a mountain of debt, and a tendency to make bad decisions. Rent is due but Asa has just lost pretty much everything at blackjack. A visit to a well-meaning therapist leads to a citation for using the “wrong” bathroom, a court date in four days, and a midnight run to the small Texas town of Asa’s childhood for an officially-certified birth certificate, the only thing that will provide justice. Or will it? When kindly priest Josie Becker rescues Asa from a night spent sleeping in the car, a quick errand turns into anything but. Sister Jack is the story of Asa’s journey from a present that is nothing like what was expected…through a past that is nothing like what it seemed…to a future that just might be better than anything she’s ever dreamed possible.
