COWSERT
God, Sex, and Rich People
OUT NOW!
What happens when an Evangelical pastor's daughter moves from Branson, Missouri to New York City?
A collapse of identity that begins a journey of figuring out faith, fucking, and the 1%. With humor and raw honesty, God, Sex, and Rich People follows Mattie Jo as she takes off her purity ring, navigates public transportation, and tries to have good sex without hating herself. From dating her doorman, to sex with a pop star, and living with millionaires, watch Mattie Jo hilariously fumble and find her footing as she redefines her sexuality and spirituality in the city that never sleeps (and never stops sleeping around).
Readers rave about
God, Sex, and Rich People
"I laughed, I cried (from laughing so hard, and most importantly, I felt seen. I am so thankful someone was able to capture topics that are so relatable: breaking down purity culture, trying to find your life outside of the doctrine you were taught, and triumphs along the way. I secretly hope there is a second book in the future because I could reread this book until my eyes fall out. If I could, 100 stars on this book."
"Mattie Jo puts into words what countless women have felt. Sharing her story of finding not only her relationship with faith, but most of all her relationship with herself. Part memoir, part history, and part discussion she takes us on a journey to discover what we want in love and in creating a more equitable world of mutual respect. I laughed, I cried, and I recognized myself in many of these moments.

"I have never in my life CRIED simply because a book I was reading ended. As I'm typing this, tears are streaming because I finished it, because of its wholesomeness and relatability."
"Seriously, go buy this book tomorrow! I swear Mattie Jo Cowsert was living in my head while writing it because EVERY PAGE hits home."
