Plot

30 Lesbian writers, some well-known and some not, write about their experiences of growing up Catholic.
One of the memoirs comes from Mev Miller, founder of Wanderground, who tells of her experience as a Catholic at Yale Divinity School in "She's a Witch, Burn Her."
Other writers include Carol Seajay, Peg Cruikshank, Valerie Miner, Gloria Anzaldua, among others.
