Trapped in her enormous, devout Catholic family in 1963, Annie creates a hilarious campaign of lies when the pope dies and their family friend, Cardinal Stefanucci, is unexpectedly on the short list to be elected the first American pope. Driven to elevate her family to the holiest of holy rollers in the parish, Annie is tortured by her own dishonesty. But when “The Hands” visit her in her bed and when her sister becomes pregnant “out of wedlock,” Annie discovers her parents will do almost anything to uphold their reputation. Questioning all she has believed and torn between her own gut instinct and years of Catholic guilt, Annie takes courageous risks to wrest salvation from the tragic sequence of events set in motion by her parents’ betrayal.

Review "Annie's disarming voice evokes nostalgia for a bygone era and hope for humanity in a weary, modern world."-Kirkus Reviews"This worthy debut has a disarming humor."-Publisher's Weekly"In a nutshell: I love the story. The voice is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this and had a lot of fun reading it over, three times! As a Catholic who grew up in the 60′s and 70′s this spoke to me on many levels and I laughed right out loud on more than one occasion. It was a joy."-Erin Niumata, VP Folio Lit"...enough charm to fill the corridors of Vatican City twice over."-Foreword Reviews"In a nutshell: I love the story. The voice is fantastic It was a joy." -- Erin Niumata "VP Folio Lit"

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Caitlin Hicks writes with great humor, honesty and compassion about her siblings By G. Donald Maloney I literally could not put this book down (but had to now and then over two days.). A coming of age story of young girl of the early 1960's in a large rambling and strictly Catholic family. Caitlin Hicks writes with great humor, honesty and compassion about her siblings, parents, rivals and enemies. Can't wait for the next installment about her teen and early adult years. A winner.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Humorous, Intelligent, True -- what more do you want! By PJ Reece Hicks takes the reader into the special world of a devout California Catholic family. But wait! Don't go yet! This novel is driven by the first-person narrator known as Annie, a sassy and smart 12 year-old upon whose flat chest (she’s the one complaining about it, not me!) you want to pin a medal for being so damned perceptive and belligerent and especially for deploying so many crack Saxon verbs that make you sit up and say, Whoa!—this chick is going to cut through life’s smog and get noticed, if her father doesn’t smack her senseless, which he tries to do, but to him I say, Good luck. Wow, having just finished the book, I feel like I better understand about a billion more people on earth.Hicks has created a story rife with domestic tension, and although not all the promises of disaster pay off, there are myriad that do. Hicks brings us real life, and by that I mean the human condition, and by that I mean characters struggling to be free. Problem is, each character is on a different trajectory to find this freedom, and if that doesn’t make for good drama, I don’t know what does.Hicks sets her story in the era of the Pope John’s death and the Kennedy Assassination. We all know what we were doing then and what we felt like and how innocent we were, and how deluded and naïve we were, and helpless and rebellious and fed up with authority, which pretty much puts us in Annie’s skin. So, is this a young adult novel? It deserves to sell well as YA or adult fiction. Any book with a protagonist whose antics are seared into a reader’s memory is going to be enjoyed by many.

Bennison Funny and poignant, this unflinching take on growing up Catholic in a ramshackle oversized military family in 1963 Pasadena will have you laughing, gnashing your teeth and shouting "Huzzah!"Anne of Green Gables take note! There's a new red head in town and her name is Annie Shea!
