Description
If the Bough Breaks . . . When Faith and Politics Bend a Family Tree to Its Breaking Point by Danielle Hensley is a powerful exploration of the deep divides within a family and the Episcopal Church. The author's personal journey of self-discovery and education about white privilege, judgmentalism, and bigoted ideologies offers a unique perspective on the growing chasm between the right and the left. This book is also a love story - one of a daughter fighting to cling to love in the face of external and internal forces that seek to destroy it. It's a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and the enduring power of love, even when relationships seem irreparably broken. Through her story, Hensley sheds light on the subtle yet pernicious ways in which ideological, political, and spiritual differences can affect families and communities.
