Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a child of passion. I was born of sin: a mistake in human form, a bomb aimed perfectly to blow up both my parents’ lives. My parents met at divinity school, which was a pretty funny way to start an affair. #2 I grew up with my mother and father at the Catholic Worker, a socialist Catholic charity that housed the homeless and fed the hungry. They were a part of their community, and so was I. #3 I loved growing up in Boston. I loved going to the soup kitchen with my father, and I loved watching him perform magic tricks that were more like street hustles. #4 I learned to love books as a second religion growing up. My parents’ faith in literature was as strong as their faith in Catholicism, and they always had plenty of books around me.
