So the Sign Said

A story of bubble gum snow cones, stampeding pigs, Lyle Lovett tunes, roaring chainsaws, llamas that look like Rihanna, eyebrowless bandits-with a few sharp moments of loss and compassion sprinkled on top. Jordan Klein is a precocious seventeen-year-old New York City girl who cracks wise to deal with the world around her. Her mother, Rachel, is a litigator-sharp, refined and always careful not to spill her gin and tonic on the couch. Her father, Eli, is a professor of divinity, an unapologetic eccentric and, in Jordan's eyes, a dipsy-doodling disaster. When he spontaneously agrees to pastor a church in podunk Texas for the summer, Jordan's world is turned upside down. It's not long before Jordan meets Knox, a gorgeous yet complicated mess, and bliss, a jun-loving whimsical blonde. Through Knox and Bliss, Jordan discover the best parts of her new summer home, including the quirky church sign outside her bedroom window. The sign offers advice, provides pun-laden humor, and has an uncanny ability to predict the future-including hers.
