Summary

Dana Potowski is a restaurant critic and food writer and a longtime member of a progressive Unitarian Universalist congregation in Southern California. Just as Dana is finishing the book tour for her latest bestseller, she is asked to join the church search committee for a new minister. Dana has doubts, but she is under pressure to find her next book idea, so she decides to secretly pen a memoir, with recipes, about the experience. That memoir, Search, follows the travails of the committee and their candidates -- and becomes its own media sensation. Dana had good material: the committee is made up of a lively mix of congregants, and their candidates range from a microbrew master/pastor to a reverend who identifies as both a witch and an environmental warrior. Although she may have been ambivalent about joining the committee, Dana finds that she deeply cares about this institution, and she ends up in a battle royal over its fate
