"This is more than a memoir; it is a testament to the departure from trauma's clutches. McCloy shows us the way by magnifying her working-class queerness with brilliant writing. " CAConrad, Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return

Nine Grudges by Molly McCloy is a raw, defiant, and darkly hilarious queer memoir that traces nine pivotal moments of childhood trauma, blending humor, heartbreak, and resilience to illuminate the power of forgiveness, identity, and queer joy amid family dysfunction.

On the cusp of her 1993 college graduation in Olympia, Molly McCloy spends her time drunk and high, pulling dykey pranks, and thrashing in mosh pits-anything to avoid the troubled, working-class family she left behind in Arizona. But after a vivid nightmare involving her dad, Molly writes him a letter, asking him to apologize for nine instances of mental, verbal, and physical abuse. To her surprise, her dad writes back. Nine Grudges is the story of Molly's nine heartbreaking moments, her humor as a coping strategy, and her queerness as a source of joy. Celebrating dark victories snatched from the jaws of trauma, this book asks whether grudge wielding is an act more powerful than forgiveness itself.
