Head Beacon Beka and her sidekick Dot turned out to be very good at getting rid of a predatory male pastor. Female church leaders were rare in 1976, but they found an ordained woman to shepherd their flock. The five Beacons, their prickly minister and a young Mexican prostitute all took risks, made mistakes and followed their hearts to set a wild new course for their historic interracial, interdenominational congregation in \"The City.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Judith Favor's novel lives next door to Armistead Maupin's San Francisco of the Seventies.
