The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw

5.0

The Secret Lives of Church Ladies is a debut collection of raw, engrossing short stories that intersects sex, sexuality, relationships, and the church written by a 49-year-old Black woman writer, who had no marketing budget and still secured a finalist spot for the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction. (Well deserved btw.) I'm hooked.
