Descrição do livro
Gloria “Goldie” Puckerwell dies on a Tuesday and by Saturday her children have turned the funeral into Black Friday with a Bible. She loved gold — teeth, rings, a Jesus that never took a day off. They bury her in silver because silver was on sale and humility was a useful lie. The smile is unemployed. The jewelry is “in a safe place.” The safe place is somebody’s neck at the repast.
The only daughter who paid for the circus, Sherona Vale, shows up in white, puts her own songs in both ears, and leaves when they give “the kids” two minutes like grief is a parking meter. The family calls it disrespect. Gloria, had she gotten a line, would have called it the first honest thing all week.
What follows is not mourning. It is an inheritance Olympics fought with church fans, group chats, a trust that owns air, a deacon with a projector, a brother with an investor, shirts that run out on purpose, pictures that are banned except for the in-charge wife, and a “family friend church” that used to be ashamed of itself. Offices keep saying one name. It is not theirs. Phones keep ringing. Sherona lets them hymn themselves to death.
She does not go to the dirt. She goes home. The gold is gone. The paperwork is not. Gloria still wins.
