Description
Priestdaddy is a memoir that tells the story of Patricia Lockwood's unconventional upbringing. Her childhood was marked by an impoverished environment, a mother who spoke in riddles, and a father who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine to become a Catholic priest. This unusual family dynamic had a profound impact on Lockwood's life, and she must now navigate her complicated relationship with her family when an unexpected crisis forces her to move back into her parents' rectory.
The book is a poignant and humorous exploration of how we balance tradition with hard-won identity. Lockwood's writing is both raunchy and sublime, taking the reader on a journey from the comic to the serious. With its unique blend of humor and poignancy, Priestdaddy is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
