Item Description
First edition hardcover of 2006 Sydney Taylor Award winning novel CONFESSIONS OF A CLOSET CATHOLIC Signed by the author.
Justine Silver's best friend, Mary Catherine McAllister, has given up chocolate for Lent, but Jussy doesn't think God wants her to make that kind of sacrifice. So she's decided to give up being Jewish instead.
Jussy's bedroom closet becomes her confessional as she pours out her sins to her teddy bear, "Father Ted." But when her beloved Bubbe suffers a stroke, Jussy worries that her religious exploration is responsible.
Worse, Jussy must contemplate life without Bubbe, the one person who seems to understand her.
Young readers of every faith will see themselves in Jussy, as she struggles to find balance between her search for religious identity and the dramas of her everyday existence, including boys, life as a tormented middle child, and, of course, the temptations of chocolate.
