When I picked this one up, I have to admit, I wasn’t sure how it was going to work. Aunt Georgia Lee’s stories can be hot on the spicy scale and I didn’t know how she was going to blend faith, love and lust together in one book. But she did exactly that.
Gospel singer Cheryl “Rose” Campbell found herself in a bad place after being outed by a vindictive one night stand. So where do you go when your management ditches you and you fall out of favor with your fans of faith? You go home.
With the support of old friends, family and community, Cheryl works her way back to where she always
belonged. The support she received was amazing and a reminder to keep those who truly want the best for you close.
I loved all the colorful characters, but especially thee Reverend Tabitha Scott who all the church ladies seemed to be willing to get into some unholy business with. Only Ms. Scott has always had eyes for the one and only Rose Campbell she was all but ready to usher back into her flock. Their dynamic was 🥵. But not too hot now! 👀 I was definitely rooting for them. I loved how protective Tab was of her.
Don’t let the God in her fool you. She’s a staunch defender of those she loves and isn’t afraid to whoop some ass. My favorite scene was the most hilarious and painful, where they had to physically fight back against hate on behalf of their trans sister. The way they beat those fools with their own bats. 😭
This read wasn’t all joy, but it was all beautiful. Rose’s journey back to God was as fulfilling as it was to watch her fall back into the Reverend's arms. It’s layered in its themes, from identity and church politics to career and loving in aging bodies.
At the heart of this story is a message of forgiveness, found family, second chances and unconditional love.
Though my faith isn’t what it once was, this story hit me with all the nostalgiaz. The music Auntie Lee took the extra care in putting together for this book brought me all the way back to my choir days. It was always a fun time. Bible study, potlucks and gatherings where we got into all kinds of shenanigans when we were supposed to be praying. 👀
This is one of those stories that stick with you.
From the club to the pulpit, this was an amazing read. You won’t be disappointed. One of Aunt Lee’s best in my not so humble opinion and definitely one of my favorites.
