Chris Desmereaux, college graduate and single mother of two, staring down the food stamp line, looking for love, compassion, and stability, is unaware that she has just been awarded her own personal advanced ghetto degree the day Gayle Evans finds her personal ad in the paper -- and answers it.

Gayle Evans, toe-tapping, knee-slapping, make-you-wanna-holla Minister of Music with a divine gift from God. "Praise the Lord" is her mantra. Macking women is her game. Destroying every life she touches, Gayle brings more misery than harmony. She has a lesson or two to learn after she uses her "relationship with God" to break up a seemingly happy home.

Alternately set in Washington, D.C. and Memphis, Tennessee, Fire & Brimstone is an "in your face" tale that explores lesbianism and Black motherhood as both separate and integrated issues impacting the main character's role as a single parent, while opening dialogue on same-sex domestic violence, religious beliefs, bisexuality, negligent fathers, economics, and intra-racial caste systems among African-Americans. Depending on one's beliefs and opinions, Fire & Brimstone leaves no room for "in-between" emotions, leading the reader to ultimately draw his or her own conclusion as to what the ending actually means: Is homosexuality a sin, or does God love us as we are?

The author reminds us that gay women are everywhere, even in the African-American church -- a place where no one expects to find them.

Fire & Brimstone does an excellent job of testing the boundaries of 21st century morality....

"The first time I lied naked with a woman I was nervous but anxious to get it on. I had no idea what we were supposed to do. As I sat there waiting for her to make her move, she was lying there waiting for me to make mine. So I kissed her.

...I will say that our lovemaking was one of the most intense events of my life. That whole night I felt this power…this aura about myself that I'd never felt before. And then it hit me. I had spent the entire night with a woman consumed with the idea of me being a man. On the outside I walked on the tips of my toes-dainty and self-assured-bouncing my long, thick hair from side to side, I looked every bit of a lady to the world. But on the inside, though, down beneath the smooth skin and soft fragrance, I walked like a man."
