I'M PERFECT, YOU'RE DOOMED
Tales from a Jehovah's Witness Upbringing
Kyria Lydia Abrahams I’m Perfect,
You’re Doomed tells about
her life from childhood into young adulthood. Its humor outshines the more somber aspects such as
her being denied the chance to have a childhood of happy occasions such as birthdays and Christmas; also denied any normal
opportunities to date for fun; and being forbidden to marry outside the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Her book is honest and funny, not bitter but beautifully expressive.
It
is not surprising to know that, when not writing, today Kyria Abrahams is a standup comedian and a poetess of the
spoken word. “Best book
by an ex-Jehovah's Witness
from Pawtucket I have ever read. Very funny. Very, very funny. Very, very, very funny."
—Janeane Garofalo
