“
The Sunday Wife
is a dazzling tale of deception, heartbreak, and transcendence. Cassandra King has written a novel that sparkles with vitality and truth. Readers will not soon forget this moving story of one woman's journey toward independence and the amazing people who help ferry her toward freedom.”

“From the perspective of a minister's spouse,
The Sunday Wife
unflinchingly explores the hypocrisy, vanity, and cruelty of leaders and members of a mainstream religious denomination. It's a wake-up call like that of Elmer Gantry. From page one, the reader will be rooting for the liberation of the courageous and talented wife, Dean, from her repressive husband, as Cassandra King's enticing novel challenges the reader to avoid the crippling effects of denial and obsession.”

Ahab's Wife

“
The Sunday Wife
is a stunner, a page- turner of a story that's at the same time smart and funny and alert to the nuances of the complicated South. Dean Lynch in the title role will absolutely steal your heart.”
