Elizabeth Esther grew up in love with Jesus but in fear of daily spankings (to "break her will"). Trained in her family-run church to confess sins real and imagined, she knew her parents loved her and God probably hated her. Not until she was grown and married did she find the courage to attempt the unthinkable. To leave.
In her memoir, readers will recognize questions every believer faces:

By turns hilarious and heartbreaking,
is a story of the lingering effects of spiritual abuse and the growing hope that God can still be good when His people fail.
