Deesha Philyaw: The True Confession of First Lady Freeman, Doubleday, Jan 2027, i read a proof

I am clearly not the target group for this novel but had some fun with the bad ass attitude of First Lady Scharisse Freeman, heroine of the book,  wife of a pastor in one of the Black megachurches in the US who call themselves First Ladies. How much is based on how these churches  work and how rich they are is probably not so far from reality. 

Lots of gossipy female bitchiness, sex, back stabbing,  religous falsehood and competition amongst the wives of these pastors and the churches male domiance provide the base for this often funny novel.  I skipped thru the book, as I said, not really my reading taste, too predictable,  but i can see the appeal to younger female readers.
