Non-Fiction Memoir
Paul Moore's vocation as an Episcopal priest took him—with
his wife Jenny and a family that grew to nine children—from
robber-baron wealth to work among the urban poor of postwar
America, prominence as an activist bishop in Washington
during the Johnson years, leadership in the civil rights and
peace movements, and two decades as the bishop of New York.
The Bishop's Daughter is a daughter's story of that complex,
visionary man: a chronicle of her turbulent relationship
with a father who struggled privately with his sexuality
while she openly explored hers, and a searching account of
the consequences of sexual secrets. With a depth of
questioning that recalls James Carroll's An American
Requiem, this memoir engages the reader in the great issues
of American life: war, race, family, sexuality, and faith.
22 photographs.
