Author Polly Merritt Ingraham, Unconverted: Memoir of a Marriage

Description

Polly Merritt Ingraham, a Hopkinton local, shares her new memoir, Unconverted: Memoir of a Marriage, at Gibson's Bookstore! She is joined in-conversation by her friend, fellow author Ian M. Rogers. As soon as Polly and Rob meet, there is electricity between them, despite the fact that Rob is a devout Divinity student and Polly does not practice a religion. When they fall in love, she begins to wonder if their union can survive their theological differences. Over time, they build a multilayered life of family and community, and Polly manages to create a comfortable space as a clergy wife. In lyrical prose that is reflective, candid, and warm, this is the story of how an extroverted agnostic remained true to herself through three decades of marriage, three children, and four relocations. As Polly's husband rose through the ranks to become an Episcopal bishop, she stayed steadfast in her love of literature, sports, nature, friends, and her family, while deepening her understanding of herself, her husband, and marriage.
