Pick up our next book to discuss! In this book, Watterson synthesizes scripture, memoir, and politics to illuminate a story that has been left out of the canon for far too long, one that follows a girl freeing herself from a life predicated on the expectations of others—a path that made her feel unworthy. Thecla’s story offers us a path to take back the power we often give to others and live based on the truth of who we are. You’ll also get some information about how the “canon” (the Bible as we know it) came to be, and some insight into the things that were left out.
