Why read it?
1 author picked Lady of the Church as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Lady of the Church is a realistic depiction of a lady who feels as though she’s losing her identity. To many, they only cared about “First Lady,” the title, and not Sabrina, the person.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.
From Lakisha's list on African American Christian fiction.
