Vierge - Paperback

by Rachel Mutombo (Author)

When sixteen-year-old Divine joins a new church, she meets Bien-Aime, Grace, and Sarah, who are eager to ditch the Bibles and baptize Divine into the real world of boys, booze and blasphemy. In a church where gossip flows faster than prayers, secrets, lies and shifting alliances threaten the genuine sisterhood and friendship that each of these girls desperately needs. Vierge follows these four Congolese-Canadian girls as they navigate the tangled mess of faith, sexuality, and the pressures of being teenagers growing up in a traditional community.
