ABOUT THE EVENT

The Fourth Wednesday Readers, Phoenixville Public Library’s daytime, in-person book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet next on Wednesday, July 24 at 1:00 PM. The group will discuss Deesha Philyaw’s award-winning story collection, The Secret Lives of Church Ladies. The Secret Lives of Church Ladies explores the raw and tender places where black women and girls dare to follow their desires and pursue a momentary reprieve from being good. The nine stories in this collection feature four generations of characters grappling with who they want to be in the world, caught as they are between the church’s double standards and their own needs and passions.
