I am well overdue for writing a review of this short, powerful, and absolutely fantastic short story collection by Deesha Philyaw. That said, my first sentence pretty much sums up my thoughts on this debut collection, which was a finalist for the National Book Award (and for good reason!). Each of the stories follows a different woman, spanning four generations of Black women and discussing their relationship with the church, with themselves, with their sexuality, and with each other. It's amazing, Deesha Philyaw is amazing (her talk on June 29 was phenomenal — check it out on our YouTube channel), and I CAN'T WAIT to see what she does next.
