I Don't Want to be a Hoo-er

Essays on Faith, Family and Foolishness

by Elizabeth Scalia

Author Elizabeth Scalia has written of Christian scripture: "You either believe all that stuff you say you believe, and you act accordingly, or it's all a lot of hooey and you're the hoo-er." In this compilation of essays culled from various print and online publications carrying her by-line, Scalia gives ample evidence of her struggle against hoo-erdom. | read more»
