Title: The book's title says it all
Review: Roger Nebel's description of this book, as does the book's title itself, accurately and succinctly describes this most unusual story of a brilliant, insightful, and compassionate woman priest. Her treatment in her central Virginia parishes by parishioners and others in authority and the inexplicable hands-off attiude of the Virginia bishop, offer one truly shocking and deeply disturbing view of the author's beloved Episcopal Church. An unusually gifted, kind, unassuming priest, with a virtually unique history (for an Episcopal priest at the time) of working in prisons (she was a teacher at Lorton Reformatory for two years), regularly visited prisoners, and with her husband gave concerts for prisoners in Washington, DC, and Alexandria, Virgina, at the same time preaching and teaching on a sophisticated intellectual level, Nancy James' story is inspiring. This first work of hers is well worth reading, and promises exciting future writings.
