GOD AND ALL HER CHILDREN

written by anike

​It’s August. The summer before senior year. It’s too hot to do anything and too close to the beginning of school to go anywhere else, so D and Gigi spend their days hanging out with God, a woman who has lived in their neighborhood so long that no one knew what else to call her. D and Gigi have been friends for years, but when Gigi receives an offer to play football at a school across the country, disagreement arises. D and Gigi come to God’s porch to process life and discuss their experiences with religion, family, and community.
