The Minister's Husband Zusammenfassung

The Minister's Husband: A Memoir of Family, Fathering, and Keeping Faith While Out at Sea Bill Eville

The story of a man coming into his own by coming home.

Since he was a boy, Bill Eville knew he wanted two things in life: to be a writer and a father. Being a minister's husband had not been on this list, having left the church as a teenager as soon as his parents stopped making him go each Sunday.

In Washed Ashore, Eville's life changes when his wife Cathlin takes a job as the first female pastor of a 350-year-old church on Martha's Vineyard, the island that was once home to generations of his ancestors. With their two small children in tow, the couple begins a new life eight miles out at sea.

Readers follow Eville's journey from stay-at-home-dad to newspaper editor as he discovers what it means to be a writer, a father, and-after his wife's devasting breast cancer diagnosis-what it truly means to be a minister's husband. Washed Ashore, told in a series of linked essays, is poignant and funny, filled with faith, struggle, and light.

The Minister's Husband Bewertungen

Moving vignettes of striving to be a good husband, stay-at-home-dad and writer....In writing about the sweet and bitter particulars of his corner of the world, Eville has written a book about life itself.
-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Here is life: rich, raw, glorious and complicated. Bill Eville's experiences are at once singular-married to a minister, living on an island-but also universal. In this memoir, he writes about his ordinary, extraordinary existence with warmth, wit, elegance and heart.
-Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize winning author of March

Storytelling takes creativity. But memoir requires courage. With creativity, courage, and vulnerability, Bill Eville holds up a mirror to himself-and in the process helps us all see a little piece of ourselves. He is still on the journey to home, still evolving. But through these pages shines the bright light of a great husband, a great father, and for me personally, a great friend!
-U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock

A touching and heartfelt memoir that explores parenting, love, illness and faith with buoyancy and hope. Like a visit to the Vineyard, it stays with you for a long time.
-Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends

There are few writers-people, in general-who can make us acutely aware that the very guts of our lives are constantly spilling out of us. It is the even rarer human-writer who can help us curate those hurts and joys and passions, to organize the unorganizable. Bill Eville is such a writer and Washed Ashore is a book I will never forget. It will make you appreciate your own life, and I'm not sure there is much more we can ask a book to do.
-Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women
