Not strictly a Christian apologetics book, but partly a personal memoir and partly a defense of a kind of thoughtful and nuanced political conservativism influenced by Christian beliefs. Well worth the read, even if you don't find yourself in accord with all of Hitchens' political beliefs.

May 25, 2018
Angela's Ashes was an extremely heavy, tragic but touching memoir peppered with humor and emotion and love. Frank McCourt is a master at telling stories, but this memoir of his Irish Catholic family, spans so many subjects, so creatively and so beautifully - from family, to love, religion, sickness, abandonment, poverty... The hardship that immigrants had to go through is heartbreaking - as is their strength, and will to survive and make better lives for themselves. So much emotion after reading this. I don't know if this story will leave me for awhile. Definitely something for the mature reader, and definitely something that stays within you.
