Her childhood was haunted by the knowledge that her neighbors and schoolmates where doomed to die in an imminent fiery apocalypse; that Smurfs were evil; that just about anything you could buy at a yard sale was infested by demons; and that Ouija boards--even if they were manufactured by Parker Brothers--were portals to hell. Never mind how popular you are when you hand out the Watchtower instead of candy at Halloween. When Abrahams turned eighteen, things got even stranger. That's when she found herself married to a man she didn't love, with adultery her only way out. "Disfellowshipped" and exiled from the only world she'd ever known, Abrahams realized that the only people who could save her were the very sinners she had prayed would be smitten by God's wrath. Raucously funny, deeply unsettling, and written with scorching wit and deep compassion, I'm Perfect, You're Doomed explores the ironic absurdity of growing up believing that nothing matters because everything's about to be destroyedbProvided by the publisher.10aAbrahams, Kyria.920201 0aJehovah's WitnesseszUnited StatesvBiography.920202  2ddccBOOK  c2591d2591  4070aABELJbabeljcBd2016-10-26l1m2oB ABRAp18522r2019-03-01s2017-01-06v25.00w2016-10-26yBOOK
