As Carrie works to make sense of her life post-divorce, Elise begins an affair with an older ex-nun amid a surge of confusing religious fervor and supernatural experience. Relief from the predictability of her already established long-term relationship is short-lived for Elise, who learns more than she'd like to know about fidelity, romance, love, and family. \u003cbr\u003e ... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom \"Anger Prayer\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShe meets a hot, sane, together lesbian at a potluck dinner party who flips out over her crawfish étouffée or hummingbird cake or whatever, and they fall together in an ecstatic love that makes everyone they know jealous.
