The spirited Houston congregation featured in ReShonda Tate Billingsleys Let the Church Say Amen and Everybody Say Amen has a major scandal unfoldingand, as always, the outspoken Rachel Jackson Adams is at the heart of the drama.

Her baby may or may not be Lesters, but Marys doing all she can to win sympathy and turn her fellow churchgoers against Racheleven threatening to blackmail Pastor Adams with a paternity agreement. After all, where can an unmarried mother-to-be go but to the Lord? Rachel has a few choice answers for exactly where Mary can go . . . but as theseexpectant moms do battle, hostilities erupt into a drama unlikeanythingZion Hill has ever seen! Something has to give, and while Rachel contemplates everything from transferring her lifelong church membership to packing up and leaving Lester, she knows deep down God is calling her to forgiveness. Will the arrival of the new babies bring a new understanding? Or harden forever the anger thats dividing them?
