GOOD CHRISTIAN GIRL
GOOD CHRISTIAN GIRL by L.L. Edgerton is a literary novel about childhood religious trauma that continues into adulthood.
As a child, Lee Ellis was surrounded by spiritual hypocrisy and her mother's eating disorders. Twenty years later, Lee is navigating the daily routines of marriage and parenthood coinciding with work, pets and sex. As her depression segues into a series of dark, unsettling dreams, she realizes that she needs to address her mental health before the past destroys her. Written in the style of a personal narrative, GOOD CHRISTIAN GIRL will appeal to fans of Michelle Richmond's nuanced prose (THE YEAR OF FOG) and Margaret Atwood's blunt, often somber explorations of the psychology encompassing relationships and sex (CAT’S EYE).
