Glory

"I wanted everything all the time. Boys, girls, fae, theys, and thems. I wanted to eat braised short ribs and redskin mashed potatoes while sipping an elaborate drink that contained no alcohol. I wanted to be enshrined in a candle too pretty to burn and memorialized in affectionate poetry detailing my midnight skin. I wanted to hold Cash and be held by Frankie. I wanted them both. Both."

Gloria Esther King is living up to what it means to be a preacher's daughter: Wild, sneaky, and promiscuous. She had no plans to give up the single life, but the twenty-seven-year-old re-evaluates her life choices, finding herself stuck between heaven and hell after a routine night out goes wrong.
