Theresa Hopson’s successful store, Holy Ghost Corner and Church Woman’s Boutique, was highly successful. Garnering the market on all things women in her neighborhood liked, from faux-designer purses to fancy lingerie, was a hit. But the store couldn’t sell what Theresa wanted most of all: a husband. At forty seven, with no promise of a relationship, Theresa wondered if God had a mate for her.

Lamont Green’s desire to save the surrounding neighborhood from scheming politicians and turn it into affordable housing has sent him back to his old church. Will God resurrect his faith as well as the neighborhood? And who is this Theresa who’s caught his eye?
Theresa and Lamont join forces to fight and save the surroundings. From their work comes Cashmere Estates and a new bond. Love forged, love found. It’s never too late.
Coupled with quirky characters, Holy Ghost Corner tells a tale of love almost missed and opportunities overlooked. The book captures the essence of a small group: from infighting, tale-telling, and arguments, to love and championing one another for a worthwhile cause. The dialogue and setting becomes another character in Bowen’s book. One sure to make an impact!
