This was a great collection of short stories. It's very well-curated. Every story explores the inner lives of black women. These women are all different and don't conform to what you might think of when you hear "church ladies" - they are flawed, are sexual, are attracted to women, or are involved in infidelity. There is a lot of infidelity - Peach Cobbler even opens with "My mother’s peach cobbler was so good, it made God himself cheat on his wife" - and another story is called Instructions for Married Christian Husbands that gives rules for cheating. These stories are funny and witty, but also get at some real emotions, and I loved basically every story.
