Love & Liberation Series

Unleashing her inner Jezebel on camera was not part of Christina Edmonson’s plan, but nobody said rebuilding your life after religious and family trauma was going to be easy.

A radical and heartfelt debut that celebrates the pursuit of joy, The Jezebel List is perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and B.K. Borison.

✔ Attend a pagan festival
✔ Get a Brazilian wax
☐ Watch pornography
☐ Explore a science museum
☐ Have a one-night stand
☐ Take the Lord’s name in vain, with relish

These barely begin to scratch the surface of Christina Edmonson’s Jezebel list. As the daughter of a once-respected fundamentalist pastor and running out the clock on her last semester at the ultra-conservative (read: ultra-backwards) Hilltop University, Christina is ready for a drastic change. Following months of intense therapy after her family’s fall from grace and years of being told that the enchanting evils of the modern world would lead to eternal damnation, attending a pagan festival feels like freedom. And then she catches the eye of documentarian Danny Reeves. 

After meeting Christina and her Jezebel list, Danny is immediately inspired. Having started a successful career investigating the injustices of the Evangelical South, only to burn out under the pressure, Danny is certain that Christina’s story is one with the potential to resonate with millions. A fan of his work, Christina agrees to be the subject of his next documentary, but under one condition: they must complete her list together. 

As they begin checking items off the list, neither one expects the spark burning brighter and hotter between them. But for Christina, outsmarting old demons is hard, and rediscovering yourself takes courage.   

A dazzling exploration of identity, The Jezebel List, is unapologetically candid and will delight readers who long for the happily ever after.
