With some schooling, a job and marriage to clever Lucy Potts, his fortunes are looking up. But, unable to resist the lure of women or a fight, he's forced to flee town or face life on the chain gang.John finds himself in Sanford, Florida, and sends for Lucy and the children. There, he discovers a talent for preaching, and, with the support of his wife, becomes pastor of Zion Hope Church, rousing his congregation with his fervent sermons. He is now a pillar of the community, respected and popular. Before long, though, he is praying for his own sins - for his powers of persuasion aren't limited to the pulpit - and the town won't stand for his philandering ways.Originally published in 1934, this is Zora Neale Hurston's first novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zora Neale Hurston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213589082172,"sku":"9780349012223","price":1046.25,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/jonahs-gourd-vine","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
