Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson

I just finished reading Gods in Alabama, and WOW! This book is definite closure to Jackson's book Backseat Saints.
If you haven't read Backseat Saints yet, do not pick this one up.
Gods in Alabama tells Arlene Fleet's story of her escape from Alabama to Chicago, why she did it, and the promises she made to God to get her there.  
When Arlene is forced to return to Alabama by her insistent family and her soon-to-be husband, Burr, she has to face the truths she has been running from since arriving in Chicago. 
Her life is thrown in to a spiral of shock after one conversation with her Aunt Florence. She admits her deepest secret to Burr, and discovers she may have been wrong all along.


This book was hard to put down. It was such a page turner. I would recommend it to those looking for a suspense and emotional book. 
The chapters are pretty long, which turn me off normally, but this book was so interesting that they flew by.


4.5/5 stars from me.
