Beautiful read. I can't say that the way these sisters conducted business and "disposed" of their husbands was really "not legal", but just maybe questionable, in a rather cunning way. At least it wasn't the ole Deloris Clayborn knock off. By the time they took on the business of the church they had me cheering for them. And thru all this they stayed the "proper ladies" and pulled it all off with grace. I lioved this read, it was fun.
