Sixteen-year-old Divine's only real friends are Jesus and his twelve disciples--until her family joins a new church, and she meets Bien-Aime, Grace, and Sarah, who are eager to ditch the bibles and baptize Divine into the real world of boys, booze and blasphemy. In a church where gossip flows faster than prayers, secrets, lies and shifting alliances threaten the genuine sisterhood and friendship that each of these girls desperately needs. Vierge follows these four Congolese-Canadian girls as they navigate the tangled mess of faith, sexuality, and the pressures of being teenagers growing up in a traditional community where the margin for error is non-existent.
