Join us on Tuesday, July 27 at 7 PM as Polly Ingraham talks about her new book, Unconverted: Memoir of a Marriage. About the BookAs soon as Polly and Rob meet, there is electricity between them, despite the fact that Rob is a devout Divinity student and Polly does not practice a religion. When they fall in love, she begins to wonder if their union can survive their theological differences. Over time, they build a multilayered life of family and community, and Polly manages to create a comfortable space as a clergy wife.
In lyrical prose that is reflective, candid, and warm, this is the story of how an extroverted nonbeliever remained true to herself through three decades of marriage, three children, and four relocations. As Polly’s husband rose through the ranks to become an Episcopal bishop, she stayed steadfast in her love of literature, sports, nature, and her family, while deepening her understanding of herself, her husband, and marriage itself. About the AuthorPolly Ingraham has had a career working primarily in high schools, both as an English teacher and (currently) a school-to-work coordinator. She graduated from Dartmouth and then earned a Masters from the Bread Loaf School of English. In 2018, she completed the year-long Grub Street Memoir Incubator program in Boston, finishing with a first draft of her book. She and her husband, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld ’83 live in Hopkinton, NH. They enjoyed living in Shutesbury, raising their three children, between 2001 - 2013, when Rob served as the Rector of Grace Church in Amherst. Back in 2011, Polly launched her Wordpress blog,  The Panorama of a Pastor's Wife,  keeping it going until her recent move to Substack, where she now writes  Side by Side.
