"For a woman who thinks of herself as a New Yorker at this point, I buy a lot of clothes from companies named things like Shrimp & Grits. Why? Because identity is complicated."

Elizabeth Passarella is content with being complicated. She grew up in Memphis in a conservative, Republican family with a Christian mom and a Jewish dad.

While her politics have tilted to the left, she still puts her faith firstâ??and argues that the two can go hand in hand, for what it's worth.

In this sharp and slyly profound memoir, Elizabeth shares stories about everything from conceiving a baby in an unair-conditioned garage in Florida to finding a rat in her bedroom.

I wanted to love it, but I didn't. It came off as condescending in the guise of being "more educated"--just struck the wrong chord. I know this book is supposed to be controversial, but it could've done more good than harm with a different approach. ( )

Skimmed this book, not what I was expecting. ( )

Very few of these essays actually have to do with Passarella being an Evangelical, but they all have to do with how much she loves New York. ( )
