The Transition of Sinful Sadie

About the Book

What does Reverend Wally Bedenbaugh and televangelism’s sweetheart, “Sinful Sadie,” have in common? A penis. (For now.) The Transition of Sinful Sadie Dann Hazel’s riveting psychological thriller explodes with passion and conflict as three people “in transition” struggle—with each other, with a culture that misunderstands them, and with themselves—to find comfort in a world in which they do not belong. Paul Lyles (a.k.a. Sadie Bedenbaugh), a male-to-female transsexual, fights desperately to remain in a deteriorating relationship—and his upcoming surgery certainly won’t help. Wally Bedenbaugh, a closeted gay televangelist, finds himself on a collision course with his faith, his spouse and a domestic terrorist. And Duncan Trace, a religious extremist losing touch with reality, follows a murderous path as he plots the destruction of a media empire. The Transition of Sinful Sadie is a riveting exploration of fanaticism and terrorism—and the redemptive power of love and acceptance.
