Helen Ubiñas: The secret to 'The Secret Lives of Church Ladies' was in rejection | Books


Helen Ubiñas, The Philadelphia Inquirer
First things first: I vote to name Deesha Philyaw’s debut short story collection, “The Secret Life of Church Ladies” the next One Book, One Philadelphia.
And yes, I’ve already been politely informed that there’s a committee, of which I am not a member, that decides what book the city will read together on any given year.
But to paraphrase a popular expression: I’m columnizing it into existence. Book-lover Jesus, hear my prayer.
