Raves and Reviews
“A page-turning saga of one woman's quest for truth, Serious Little Catholics is compelling, thought-provoking, and highly recommended.”
—Midwest Book Review
“‘The Devil was apt to be around every corner, in disguise, trying to get me to do naughty things, and because I was a girl I was especially in danger. After all, if Eve, a grown-up woman, had been fooled, I must be very careful.’ If laughter is good for the soul, then Kathy Gereau's hilarious, effortlessly charming stories are exactly the elixir we need. Heavens above, this is righteously funny stuff.”
—Jane Guill, author of Nectar from a Stone
“Serious Little Catholics is a seriously funny book. Gereau has a fabulous take on her grade school education ruled by a flotilla of scary nuns. You don’t have to be Catholic to appreciate her wrangling with a passel of siblings or the speculations of her classmates (What do you think is under the nuns’ habits?). And by the time she reveals her seventh-grade infatuation with the Beatles, we’ve already been swept up by her wry observations and engaging realizations. Five stars on the Chuckle Meter!”
—Mary Ann Presman, author of The Good Dishes
“Serious Little Catholics, Kathy Gereau’s delightful debut memoir, captures a time and culture that is essential to the midwestern landscape. Gereau’s inviting, conversational style draws us in and welcomes us to stay. Her hilarious, thoughtful, and moving stories evoke a time of station wagon way-backs, sock hops, fake Barbie dolls, road trips, and kids’ tables at family gatherings. Through it all, Gereau moves to a deeper understanding of what she might believe, and perhaps more importantly, what she might not.”
—Patricia Ann McNair, author of Responsible Adults
