The Bishop's Daughter
ByPublisher Description
“An eloquent argument for speaking even the most difficult truths.” —New York Times Book Review
Paul Moore’s vocation as an Episcopal priest took him— with his wife, Jenny, and their family of nine children—from robber-baron wealth to work among the urban poor, leadership in the civil rights and peace movements, and two decades as the bishop of New York. The Bishop’s Daughter is his daughter’s story of that complex, visionary man: a chronicle of her turbulent relationship with a father who struggled privately with his sexuality while she openly explored hers and a searching account of the consequences of sexual secrets.Download the free Fable app

“When I saw that this won The Big Lambda I picked it up immediately. I put it back down almost as quickly. Because it was really, really boring. [Author:Nancy Pearl] has this formula where the number of pages you should give a book before you quit it is 100 - (your age). Working backwards from this formula, if we were calculating my age only from my experience with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47956.Daughter_of_the_Blood__The_Black_Jewels___1_ , I am 50 years old.”
