Set in a small town in the early 1900's, Heads Deacon Tails Devil is the story of Robert Grant, an elementary school teacher and long-standing deacon and spirit-stirring soloist at Nazarene Baptist Church, who shows his best side to his adoring, unsuspecting public, but is the devil incarnate at home with his wife, Rachel, and their five children. When Mom Maggie, Rachel's strong and wise mother, steps in, she uses her prophetic gifts, cunning and mother-wit to start to turn things around.  With the grace of God and the help of friends, can they protect the family and show Robert that the devil is a liar?

   "The protagonist's struggles and reliance on God will appeal to most female readers and those who have had to reinvent themselves after life-altering situations. Recommended for women's fiction and African American fiction collections. ---Library Journal
