Description

Lenny Ray Johnson is a good man. He knows it. His wife Bertha Jean knows it. Everybody in Clarksdale, Mississippi knows it.

Until they don't.

All Lenny Ray wanted was a Friday night out with his best friend Beebo, a couple of drinks at the Hen & Rooster Lounge, and to make it home to his wife. What he got instead was one too many "Shotguns," a blackout he can't account for, and a visit four weeks later from Mabel Ann Williams — Beebo's girlfriend — parked sideways across his street with news that changes everything.

She's pregnant. And Lenny Ray is the daddy. Or at least, that's what everybody believes.

Now Lenny Ray is caught between the woman he loves, the child he never meant to father, his clueless best friend who still doesn't know what's going on, and a Reverend whose Sunday sermons about honesty and accountability may be hiding a secret bigger than anyone in the congregation could imagine.

Set against the warm, wry rhythms of small-town Mississippi life, Daddy Can't Do No Wrong is a wildly entertaining story of tangled love, hard truth, and the kind of forgiveness that can only come when everything is out in the open — whether you're ready for it or not. With a cast of unforgettable characters who love loud, fight hard, and laugh even harder, this is a novel about what it truly means to do right by the people who matter most.

Because in Clarksdale, secrets don't keep. They just get bigger.
