Rich with boyhood remembrances of the Pacific Northwest of the 1970s through the 1990s, I Have Not Loved You With My Whole Heart is a memoir of trauma, healing, faith, and violence, told in overlapping personal essays that pull the reader through turning points in a household crowded with dysfunction, and toward the healing that comes after reconciliation. At the book's center is a conflicted and contradictory relationship between the author and his father, the Rev. Renne Harris, a heavy-handed, alcoholic, Episcopal priest who came out in the height of the AIDS crisis and died of HIV in 1995, but not before finding a measure of peace and acceptance.
Cris Harris teaches writing and experiential education at an independent school outside of Cleveland, and spends summers running, writing, growing tomatoes and restoring a turn of the century barn. A long time ago, he studied writing at the University of Chicago and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. His essays have appeared in Post Road, Alice Blue Review, Proximity Magazine, The New Engagement, and Nowhere Magazine, and are forthcoming at the Indiana Review. In 2018, he received an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award for nonfiction.
