Given Up for You by Erin White
In this candid and revelatory memoir, Erin O. White shares her hunger for both romantic and divine love, and how these desires transformed her life. In the late 1990s, she spent Saturday nights with her girlfriend and Sunday mornings in Catholic confirmation classes. But when the Church closed its doors to her, she was faced with a question: What does a lesbian believer do with her longing for God? Given Up for You explores these yearnings with bittersweet conviction, plumbing the depths of heart and soul.-

“Given Up for You is a wonder—as poetic, spare, and declarative as the gospels themselves”—Foreword Reviews
“A spiritual journey, a parenting journey, and a coming-out journey that shows us how each of these paths really intertwines.”—Mombian
“Poetic, funny, and deeply honest. . . . [White’s] larger point is that we can never have it all—gay or straight, rural or urban, Catholic or Protestant. Not this side of the eschaton. We’re always going to have to give up something.”—Christian Century
