Although I suspected the author leans quite a bit more conservative (theologically) than I do, I took a chance on this memoir. The premise sounded interesting to me, and I enjoy travelogues. Plus, Abingdon Press is an imprint of The United Methodist Publishing House, which is known for “crossing denominational boundaries.” Unfortunately, my expectations did not line up with the actual book.
