The Book of Maggie - Paperback

by Stephanie Wyeld (Author)

The Book of Maggie is an unapologetic implication of the damaging patriarchy within the fundamentalist Christian church, told through the voice of Maggie, a girl finding herself in the middle of it all. She tries to be perfect, as perfect as her sister, as perfect as her father tells her to be, but failure seems to follow her all her life. With a nod to the deletion of the Mary Magdalene recently found by scholars in the oldest existing biblical text, The Book of Maggie tells a story of the coming-of-age of one woman, living in recent times, who does her best to be what the men in her fundamentalist Christian family want her to be. Can she escape or will they disappear her, too?
