At fifteen, Joe is desperate to escape a home filled with chaos, abuse, and alcoholism. With a carefully crafted plan, he sets his sights on Florida, aiming to live with his grandparents and finally carve out a life of safety and possibility. Bad Catholic is a gripping, unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and the fierce determination of a teenager navigating family betrayal and vitriol. Told with raw honesty and dark humor, Joe’s story captures the tension of leaving everything behind while discovering the courage to take control of his own destiny. It is a journey of heartbreak, hope, and the quiet triumph of reclaiming his freedom.
