Sinopsis
"How does a shy, lonely boy from the backwaters of Louisiana become an apostle of God, the husband to four wives, the father to twenty-eight children? Easier than you think." Golden Richards is the rather bumbling patriarch of quite a clan, set in America in 1978. His construction business is in jeopardy, family life is chaotic, and he's beginning a doozy of a midlife crisis. This dramatic story is marbled with a sense of humor and humanity that brings these characters in life.
