Praise the Lord is her mantra. Macking women is her game. Destroying every life she touches, Gayle brings more misery than harmony. She has a lesson or two to learn after she uses her relationship with God to break up a seemingly happy home. <p/>Alternately set in Washington, D.C. and Memphis, Tennessee, <i>Fire & Brimstone</i> is an in your face tale that explores lesbianism and black motherhood as both separate and integrated issues impacting the main character's role as a single parent, while opening dialogue on same-sex domestic violence, religious beliefs, bisexuality, negligent fathers, economics, and intra-racial caste systems among African Americans. Depending on one's beliefs and opinions, <i>Fire & Brimstone</i> leaves no room for in-between emotions, leading the reader to ultimately draw his or her own conclusion as to what the ending actually means: Is homosexuality a sin, or does God love us as we are? <p/>The author reminds us that gay women are everywhere, even in the African American church--a place where no one expects to find them. <i>Fire & Brimstone</i> does an excellent job of testing the boundaries of 21st century morality.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Laurinda Brown's <i>Fire & Brimstone</i> is an engagingly provocative novel about two women who find comfort in one another as they struggle to find comfort within themselves.
