A review by binevolentbookworm
Heretic by Jeanna Kadlec

challenging dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

i am grateful for people like jeanna kadlec who have found the words for their experiences and put them to pen and paper. heretic maybe isn't required, but certainly highly recommended, reading for anyone who has a complicated relationship with having grown up in organized religion and coming to terms with a late in life discovered queer identity. for me, much of kadlec's experience wasn't a direct reflection of my own baptist upbringing, but there were still mirrored moments that were powerful to read and know exist in another's story. 

if you haven't yet read hijab butch blues, this memoir is great companion material, and vice versa and the audiobooks for each are read reverently.
