About this audiobook
Thelma Ellis Boyd keeps the books for a storefront church in Orange Mound with forty folding chairs and a concrete floor. Her mother cleaned that floor every week for twenty years and never once sat down in a service. The church paid for Thelma’s night-school accounting and she has never stopped feeling the weight of it.
She reads a ledger the way other people read a face. Which is how she found the second set of entries: the building fund carrying land notes for men on the board, and a sanctuary going up smaller and later than the people giving were told. She has copied every line of it by hand into a ledger she keeps in her mother’s dish box, and she has told nobody.
