tree_and_leafHuh. I had vaguely heard of the author of this book, but only as 'that priest who is poet in residence at Manchester Cathedral.' I didn't know that she was trans (no reason I should), nor that she has a memoir coming out. Might be of interest to some of you.
I shall try and get hold of it, though looking at my TBR pile, goodness knows when I shall read it... (Meanwhile, if you enjoy the 'spiritual autobiography' genre, I would advise skipping Hauerwas', because although bits of it are interesting, he just comes off as a bit self-regarding, even by the standards of a genre based on navel-gazing, but despite its ridiculous name, Jesus, my Father, the CIA and me is really rather good, even though bits of it sound like Bill Bryson trying to rewrite Augustine...)
