Daddy Was an Exorcist Blessing Macho

In this moving memoir, Daddy Was An Exorcist, Blessing Macho gives us a peek into her life as one of ten children in a religious-bound home, an atmosphere filled with legalism to the point of emotional abuse, with a father conducting regular exorcisms in fear of demon activity. As each child flees, one by one, from the home at an early age, Blessing finds herself in a lonely situation upon the premature death of her beloved mother who may have been saved if she had been allowed to continue taking her medicine, but the father's religious beliefs prevented her. When he soon marries again, Blessing is caught in an ever-tightening grip of religious fanaticism, emotional abuse, and deprivation. This is her story.
