After 20 years of marriage and 20 years of imaginary romances, Maggie Ellmann meets a man who makes all the previous ones seem like an augury. However, the stronger Maggie's feelings are, the bigger her determination is to end the romance and again be a “good wife and mother”, and a good Christian. So Maggie starts to pray to God to pull her out of the affair. Fire Sermon is a debut novel of an acclaimed poet and short story writer. It's lyrical and intense.
