The Book Rat’s Daughter

History & Biography

“The Book Rat’s Daughter is a must-read for anyone who loves literature or antiques or who would be curious to learn how a book can have a life of its own. With engaging anecdotes and irreverent humor, Carolyn Michaels Kerr’s memoir serves not only as a loving tribute to her father, J. Ramsey Michaels, a well-published New Testament professor and Flannery O’Connor scholar, but also as an exemplar in literary sleuthing. It can make even a bibliophile fall in love with books all over again.”
