Rising from Pain in Bloomington, MN

Raised in a family marked by religious fanaticism, the protagonist of this intimate and heartbreaking testimony takes us through her childhood and adolescence - a time when love was confused with obedience, and silence spoke louder than any scream. Through ten chapters woven with irony, pain, tenderness, and courage, this book tells what many remain silent about: the price of growing up in a home where doubt is a sin and being yourself is dangerous.
