The Reverend Curtis Black series spans 15 novels published between 2000 and 2018. Curtis Black is a gifted preacher with a large congregation, but his personal life is marked by infidelity, greed, and manipulation. Casting the First Stone (2000) introduces him as a pastor whose private behavior contradicts his public sermons, and the series follows his repeated cycles of sin and attempted redemption.
Kimberla Lawson Roby uses Curtis Black’s story to examine hypocrisy, family loyalty, and the possibility of genuine change. The supporting cast, including his wives and children, deal with the fallout from his choices, and the series gives their perspectives equal weight. Better Late Than Never (2018) brings the long-running saga to a close.
