I Don't Want to be a Hoo-er

Essayist Elizabeth Scalia writes of 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." Scalia declines to be a hoo-er, but in this compilation of columns culled from various publications carrying her by-line, she gives ample evidence of her sometimes humorous, often harrowing failings and her determination to move forward. Two highly personal and previously unpublished essays round out this diverse collection which delves into issues of faith, politics, art, social divisions, and baseball. A highly diverting read.
