Publisher Description
Benjamin Church came to the grange hall expecting to meet someone else, but then the girl in a red dress looked across the dance floor and smiled…
Passing through Perfect is a heart-wrenching, Southern family saga that starts on the night Benjamin fell madly and completely in love with Delia. Once he tasted the sweetness of her kiss, he envisioned them spending the rest of their life together.
He didn’t stop to consider her daddy was a learned Pastor and her mama a woman with a college degree; he only knew she set his heart to racing. When he touched his mouth to hers, he forgot the hardships of being a sharecropper, forgot what it was like to work from dawn ‘til dark and forgot that nothing in Grinder’s Corner ever really changed.
Benjamin’s only thoughts were about lying together every night, sitting side by side on the front porch, and raising a family. Yes, he knew there’d be heartaches. Every couple had their share of heartaches, it was to be expected; but he never imagined such a tragedy would befall their family.

Passing through Perfect
Another incredible read from the Wyattsville family saga. A touching story set in the Deep South that shows how racism affects a family and the ultimate heartache one man carries with him as he tries to make a better life for his son. Bette Lee Crosby definitely pulls you in on this one...a must read!
The Wyattsville Series
This is a wonderful series! Full of hope and caring.
So many emotions!!!
4.5 stars Excellent!!
Passing Through Perfect is the 3rd book in Bette Lee Crosby's Wyattsville series, but it can stand alone. It is a historical fiction novel based post-World War 2 in the south where racial tensions are high. I have to say, I fell in love with the characters in this book. Benjamin was strong, caring, loyal, and determined to be a good husband and father. Delia was so in love with her family and just wanted the best for them. I truly connected with her and her passion. I think most wives/moms could.
I seriously went through so many different emotions. I loved Benjamin and Delia's love story. I loved the tight knit families portrayed throughout the book. The book deals with racism and bigotry of all forms. Pride, repentance, forgiveness, and pure love are all apart of the novel as well. I enjoyed it so much, as I have the entire Wyattsville series. I love that the author has the characters from all 3 books intertwined. Well done Bette Lee Crosby.
