Heretic by Jeanna Kadlec features the title of the book in neon pink letters and a glowing pink light against a dark background
LGBT Book Reviews

Heretic is part memoir, part cultural critique, part political analysis, and part history, all viewed through the queer lens of a woman who grew up in the Midwest trying her hardest to be a Good Christian Girl, before finally accepting she’s a lesbian and nearly gnawing off her own arm to escape before she could be burned at the stake.
