Marnie Hunter seems to glide through life until that fateful night on a dark country road when the idealistic minister must reconcile theology, her Christian upbringing, and the real world. Marnie has reached an impasse. And until she comes to terms with her past and takes control of her present, the young cleric’s future is uncertain. Set in a contemporary church backdrop, Shadow Pastors profiles the life of a single female cleric as she attempts to navigate predominately male, often patriarchal spaces and balance romance, friendship, and family.
