In this wandering, disorganized, often hard-to-follow memoir, a woman searches for religious meaning in the Catholicism of her youth. Not my cup of tea, but more importantly not well-written.
kristinisreading's review against another edition

This is an example of how the reader of a book brings something to the reading. I grew up Catholic, I am from Rochester, New York, which is where Corpus Christi is located,, and I have left the church and attempted to return and left again. As I read this book all of those things influenced how I read and interpreted it. There’s a lyric quality to the essays that cover a range of topics around Catholicism. I was especially touched by the essay called Altar Girl which made me tear up a bit as I read it. I have no idea how someone without my background would react to these essays, I only know that for me it was an incredibly powerful book and I found it very moving.

These are personal and insightful essays about a woman finding her way back to the religion of her youth. I learned a bit--didn't know much about how saints become saints--and at times found myself revisiting my own trips to mass with my grandmother.
