When a church lady falls in love, she falls hard. Sometimes she lands on her knees.

Miss Budge does as she moves quietly and powerfully through her daily life in Old Cloverdale, where F. Scott Fitzgerald once courted Zelda, and two miles away Nat King Cole was born. Fitzgerald wrote about love. Nat Cole sang about love, and Mildred Budge knows those words. She can sing along with Nat and has. But Miss Budge lives love too—is always in love.

The world wants a certain kind of love. Miss Budge offers a different kind—one that is so rare, so foreign as to be misunderstood…. But make no mistake. The love a church lady offers is real and powerful and it never stops. Never fails. That’s why church ladies seem to get younger over time. They develop superhero powers like being invisible and speaking soft words now and then that cause peace instead of pain. Church ladies never stop falling in love—not just with a handsome stranger here or there (oh, sure! they’re completely human after all), but they are also very much in love with the moments of life that encapsulate its goodness.

Life is good for church ladies and that’s why they want to share the good news that love like they know exists. And it’s free for everyone. Love is real. It comes from heaven itself, and church ladies want to share that good news.

That love is revealed in this first collection of short stories featuring Mildred Budge and friends. Buy it today for yourself or for any friend of yours who needs a little love and a friend like Mildred Budge.

What readers say about Mildred Budge. "What our readers love about Miss Budge is that they all know her personally. In fact, they all are her in one way or another. Daphne's stories are instantly recognizable to those in a church community, and that's where the real humour and real pathos comes from. Daphne is a keen observer of the strange and wonderful subculture of 'the church lady.'" Brett Alan Dewing The Christian Courier (Canada) "Mildred Budge is a forthright, almost larger than life, woman who challenges every reader's faith walk by being transparent about her own. She reminds us that Jesus loves us the way we are but He loves us too much to leave us as we are." Julie Innes Evangel
