'Left me wanting more. Masterfully written' Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie
'This book is the one I've passed to friends, family and anyone else who will listen to me rave about how warm and wonderful this writing is... beautiful and honest' Caleb Azumah Nelson, author of Open Water
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.
There is fourteen-year-old Jael, who nurses a crush on the preacher's wife; the mother who bakes a sublime peach cobbler every Monday for her date with the married Pastor; and Eula and Caroletta, single childhood friends who seek solace in each other's arms every New Year's Eve.
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.
