<p>Edward Jones is an easygoing Southern salesman whose company only assigns him their most important contracts. But that&#39;s not a problem for Edward; after all, the more important contracts equal more money in his pockets.<br />
<br />
And even though his Papaw and Daddy also did this same kind of work, they never came up against&nbsp;<em>anything&nbsp;</em>as complicated as Edward&#39;s latest assignment: Dr. Jared Young, a generous parochial-school headmaster with a gorgeous wife and three wonderful sons, all thriving in an idyllic community up in Hutchinson County. Jared and his family don&#39;t know it yet, but Edward&#39;s going to do everything in his power--like temporarily adopting a destitute-yet-philosophical Mexican child and buying armloads of retina-searing John Cena t-shirts--to turn their world entirely upside down, all so he can earn his biggest commission yet.<br />
<br />
Equal parts satirical dark comedy, neo-Western thriller, and meditation on modern manhood--with an adorable Yorkshire Terrier thrown in for good measure--<em>Tabernacle</em>&nbsp;will have readers (and, with a little bit of luck, Jared Young himself) hooked on its unpredictable plot and wicked sense of humor before they even know what&#39;s hit them.</p>
