The Secret Lives of Church Ladies explores the raw and tender
places where Black women and girls dare to follow their desires and
pursue a momentary reprieve from being good. The nine stories in
this collection feature four generations of characters grappling
with who they want to be in the world, caught as they are between
the church's double standards and their own needs and passions.
There is fourteen-year-old Jael, who has a crush on the preacher's
wife. At forty-two, Lyra realizes that her discomfort with her own
body stands between her and a new love. As Y2K looms, Caroletta's
""same time next year"" arrangement with her childhood best friend
is tenuous. A serial mistress lays down the ground rules for her
married lovers. In the dark shadows of a hospice parking lot,
grieving strangers find comfort in each other. With their secret
longings, new love, and forbidden affairs, these church ladies are
as seductive as they want to be, as vulnerable as they need to be,
as unfaithful and unrepentant as they care to be, and as free as
they deserve to be.
