really liked it
bookshelves: poc, female, year-2020s, short-stories, and-a-half-stars

I love how these stories (form and content) are all very different, while the themes and concerns are very cohesive. So you don't feel like you're reading the same story over and over again (like some collections) while at the same time, each story deepens your understanding and enjoyment of the whole... women in the church, mother daughter relationships, lesbian relationships, absent/unreliable male figures, dealing with grief, etc.

A really great collection, took me a couple stories before I totally appreciated it, but my favorites were Peach Cobbler, When Eddie Levert Comes, Jael, Dear Sister, Snowfall, and Instructions for Married Christian Husbands.
