![]() My biggest take away from this memoir (other than the obvious fact that Donovan is a talented writer) is that Lisa Donovan is a survivor. She struggled with the narrative of her life because of her family’s issues with their heritage and the abuse of their matriarchs but has honored both with her career and her journey through motherhood. She struggled as a young single mother after escaping an abusive relationship but completed college with her first child strapped to her chest. The road to get there held plenty of roadblocks which Donovan found a way through because of her desire to achieve and most importantly take care of her family. Lisa Donovan worked her way from a server in a small town restaurant to pastry chef for renowned Southern restaurants. ![]() Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir by Lisa Donovan ![]()
