The Girls' Book of Priesthood
July 2016. Bright, sparky and raring to go, Margot Goodwin arrives as the new curate at St Mark's, Highbury. She's one part exhilarated, ten parts terrified. This is the most important twelve months of her life. Success would mean becoming a fully-fledged priest a year from now, something she feels profoundly called to do. Failure would not only prove her father right, but also delight all those in the anti camp who consider woman priests an abomination. Can she convince everyone - herself included - that she's more than a five foot eight redhead with a PhD and a penchant for Max Factor's Mulberry Lipfinity? Meticulously researched, this is the first novel to focus on the challenges facing a young female priest.
