After discovering her mother’s hidden diary, Irmak’s world starts to unravel. As family secrets come to light, she begins to question everything she’s ever been told—by her religiously-obsessed grandmother, her perfectionist father, and the psychologist determined to “fix” her.
How Not to Raise a Prophet is a darkly funny, quietly devastating novel about faith, family, and the strange chaos of growing up. You might laugh. You might flinch. You’ll probably wish you could give her a biscuit.
This is not a manual. And no prophets were harmed in the making of this book—though Irmak’s therapist may never recover.
