Priest Kid: The Queerly Divine in Iowa

Our verdict: Get it.
-Kirkus

"Heart-wrenching, heartwarming, charming, but most of all fun-a meeting of the most complex of relationships, plagued by the same aches."

Based on the award-winning queer screenplay, Saint John the Divine in Iowa, but told from the daughter's point-of-view, Priest Kid tells the story of a loving Midwest Episcopal family in which you don't have to come out...until you do.

If you liked Written on the Body, if you watched the L Word Generation Q and liked the relationship between Finley and the minister, this book is for you.

"I took refuge in the beautiful, truly haunting words of this novella. Lyralen Kaye has a gift for making it seem effortless to talk about grace and the role we undertake in the world to embrace what that means. Backstories are blended with asides, while the strong narrative voice propels us forward and manages to set us right within the thought and feeling we were just about to experience. The work is tremendous, complex, and full of soul and heart." Katherine Vaz, award-winning author of Our Lady of the Artichokes
