Reseña del libro "Good Apple: Tales of a Southern Evangelical in new York (en Inglés)"
&;For a woman who thinks of herself as a New Yorker at this point, I buy a lot of clothes from companies named things like Shrimp & Grits. Why? Because identity is complicated.&; Elizabeth Passarella is content with being complicated. She grew up in Memphis in a conservative, Republican family with a Christian mom and a Jewish dad. Then she moved to New York, fell in love with the city&;and, eventually, her husband&;and changed. Sort of. While her politics have tilted to the left, she still puts her faith first&;and argues that the two can go hand in hand, for what it&;s worth. In this sharp and slyly profound memoir, Elizabeth shares stories about everything from conceiving a baby in an unair-conditioned garage in Florida to finding a rat in her bedroom. She upends stereotypes about Southerners, New Yorkers, and Christians, making a case that we are all flawed humans simply doing our best. Good Apple is a hilarious, welcome celebration of the absurdity, chaos, and strange sacredness of life that brings us all together, whether we have city lights or starry skies in our eyes. More importantly, it&;s about the God who pursues each of us, no matter our own inconsistencies or failures, and shows us the way back home.
