I picked up this book based on the fact that the author and I have a super-conservative, fundamentalist upbringing in common. Mostly a collection of essays recalling the questions and fears raised by the church. I was expecting a kind of sarcastic, bitter memoir, but I was wrong. Some sarcasm was definitely involved, but I think it was laced with grace. Humorous, vivid, insightful storytelling. A really quick and pleasant read.
