From the creator of the New York Times best-selling Sad Animal Facts series, Brooke Barker, comes a quirky, hilarious memoir-in-essays about her journey from a childhood in the Mormon church to a Jewish adulthood, and all the wonder and weirdness of faith.

When she was a teenager, Brooke wanted all the things she assumed every other girl her age wanted: boobs, a first kiss, and a spot in the Celestial Kingdom, the top Mormon heaven. But for all her praying and studying and modesty, she still hadn’t received a personal revelation from the Holy Ghost - a still small voice that sits with all worthy church members and whispers them advice and comfort. The voice told other people who to marry, what to major in, and which lane on the freeway would be the fastest, but Brooke heard nothing but silence. It seemed like a bad sign. And things only got more complicated from there. 

In her first ever audio project, Brooke takes listeners through some of the most awkward moments of her adolescence - from a heaven-themed carnival, to surviving a school field trip she was sure would be interrupted by the Second Coming - as she continues to find faith in unexpected places. So Help Me Gosh, perfect for fans of Jenny Lawson and Jessi Klein, will delight and entertain anyone who’s grappled with their own beliefs and show just how powerful it can be to speak up when everyone tells you to keep listening.
