“[An] earnest but fresh journey through the travails of a performing stigmatic.”
“An affecting tale about the search for home, connection and authenticity.”
“Piercing and insightful, Gore’s first novel limns one woman’s complicated relationship with her religion and her personal faith.”
“Incredibly satisfying!”
“A beautiful tale of spiritual self-discovery. … that is respectful of religion even as it pokes fun at it.”
“As stories about Catholicism-heckling mystical punk circuses go, this is the best.”
“A compelling premise. …beautiful passages....”
“Great buzz with its blend of outlandish characters, outsized happenings and surprising takes on Catholic faith.”
“A modern passion play that compares favorably to the rotating scenes of Santa Cruz street life.”
“Ariel Gore’s debut novel is a hilarious tale of levitating drag queens, spontaneous stigmata, and bearded ladies.”

“A beguiling first novel...”
“A story of religious reawakening that’s at times irreverent, yet accepting of tradition and faith.”
