A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION

What this book explores

Levings recounts her experience within a high-control marriage and Christian patriarchal culture and her effort to leave with her children.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Why it’s in the Library

It helps readers see how women have experienced, interpreted, contested, and shaped religious life in a specific setting.

Good starting place if…

A survivor's account would help you understand how doctrine and domestic control can intertwine.

Know before you begin…

Graphic domestic violence and coercion; a particular experience, not a universal account of Christian families.
