Charmaine and her mother get along better with a room between them, but they've been forced by circumstances to relocate to a tiny trailer by the river. The last of a line of local holy men, Charmaine's father has turned from prophet to patient, his revelation lost in the clarifying haze of medication. Her sure-minded grandmother has suffered a stroke. At church, where she has always felt most certain, Charmaine is tested when she uncovers that her archrival, a sanctimonious missionary kid, carries a dark, confusing secret. Suddenly her life can be sorted into what she wishes she knew and what she wishes she didn't. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA moving, hilarious portrait of mothers and daughters, \u003ci\u003eLay It on My Heart\u003c\/i\u003e brings us into the heart of a family weathering the toughest patch of their lives.
