Confessions of a Failed Saint can be both hilariously funny and poignantly tender hearted. From a Catholic girlhood to adventures in the New Age, Buddhism, and beyond, Wilson turns a writerly eye to investigate what makes us human. Humor leads to wisdom as Wilson discovers what makes us tick--and what tickles our funny bones. Reading Terry Wilson's work reminds us that food, nature, religion, friends and family are here to enliven us. - Miriam Sagan, author of "GOSSIP" and "Searching for a Mustard Seed."
