No Christian Grave [Paperback] Power, Edmund

Edmund Power grew up in a devout Irish Catholic family in the 1970s, where faith shaped everything — until his older brother came out as gay. What followed was a family implosion: silence, shame, estrangement, and a Church that offered judgment instead of grace. Power traces the fracture lines through his own crisis of faith, watching his brother's exile become a slow, irreversible severing. This is memoir as reckoning — unsentimental, angry in places, tender in others. He doesn't let anyone off easy: not the institution, not his family, not himself. It's about what happens when doctrine collides with love, and how long it takes to admit which one you chose. For anyone who's ever had to choose between belief and belonging, or watched someone else make that choice.
