A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION

What this book explores

Levings follows her account of leaving Christian patriarchy with a survivor-facing guide to rebuilding agency, naming harm, and imagining life after high-control religion.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Why it’s in the Library

It adds a distinct way of naming harm or understanding recovery while preserving the reader’s agency and the limits of self-help.

Good starting place if…

You want a lived-experience entry into recovery after coercive religion.

Know before you begin…

Includes domestic violence and religious control; personal practices are not a substitute for individualized trauma care.
