Sittin' in the Front Pew: A Novel

When Glynda Naylor travels back to Baltimore, she leaves a busy life in Los Angeles behind to lay her father to rest. She and her three sisters gather for the funeral and find themselves sharing memories of the man who raised them alone after their mother died. As the family honours his life, the sisters begin to wonder how well they really knew him. Who was Edward Naylor beyond the devoted father they grew up with? Their search for answers stirs old loyalties, unspoken questions and long-buried feelings, pushing each of them to face the past and the family they thought they understood.
