review 1: This was a very sweet book. I am leery of books that present an uncritical look at the indoctrination of organized religion and the damage that it can do. However, Hancock presented the misconceptions that she grew up believing as a preacher's kid in a kind and loving way. The chapters are interconnected well and the last chapter reveals itself splendidly, bittersweet -- showing the boundaries (or limitations of religious faith). You realize that preachers are just normal guys who struggle to carry the burdens of their congregation.
review 2: This is a memoir of a daughter of a KY baptist minister growing up in the 80s. It is funny and sweet and I enjoyed it very much.....made me think of so many PKs I knew. If you don't know what a PK is, you probably ne... moreed to read the book. Having a baptist friend to translate for you might help, but everyone can relate to things in this book including the overwhelming seduction of the acid wash jean. The title alone cracks me up. I hope to someday myself obtain the status and reverence of The Bluegrass Ladies of Faith. less
