More about Lay Your Body Down
After Del Walker fled her cult-like church, she vowed to never return. The man she loved, Lars, left her to marry the local golden girl Eve, and their romance is now the focus of Eve’s viral blog. But six years later, Lars is suddenly killed, and Del is convinced it was no accident. When Del returns to her hometown for the funeral, she discovers the church—and the insidious, patriarchal teachings of Pastor Rick Franklin—has grown. Eve was clearly discontent in her marriage, despite the carefully constructed “Noble Wife” positivity of her blog posts, and Del knows better than anyone how far she will go to get what she wants. Del is determined to cut through the church’s lies and corruption to find out who killed Lars—even if it means confronting her own religious trauma.
