From a small house at the bottom of a Jamaican valley, Nora Campbell was never meant to rise. She did anyway. First as a gun-carrying revolutionary who believed only the Workers Congress could deliver the poor, and then, after a conversion she never saw coming, as the first woman the Reformed Church ever dared to ordain.
Now she pastors a crumbling hillside congregation that isn't sure it wants her. She preaches reggae into the hymns, baptizes the young in a mountain river, and carries a private grief that she cannot lay down. But when she makes a choice no single woman, least of all a Reverend, is expected to make, the church that so reluctantly gave her a collar moves to take it back.
What follows is a reckoning over a woman's body, a nation's conscience, and the oldest question the faithful keep asking: whether grace has any room for the ones who refuse to ask permission.
Reverend Mother is a fierce, tender novel of faith and defiance in the postcolonial Caribbean, a story of the distance between a valley and a pulpit, and the price of every mile.
