A Powerful Memoir of Faith, Family, and Life on the American Farm

Banished Children of Eve is a heartfelt and vividly told memoir chronicling the raw, beautiful, and often painful journey of growing up in a large Catholic family on a working farm in 1980s rural Michigan. With tender prose and unflinching honesty, Eric Patin invites readers into a world of Sunday Masses, muddy boots, sibling rivalries, and moments of quiet revelation that shape a life.
