Jade Mari: The Outside Girl, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

There are many reasons a person might find themselves living as part of a cult, but one of the most defenseless members of these communities are the children who are raised in this traumatic lifestyle without a say in the matter. They don't know anything different until the deeply rooted damage is done, forcing them to make the impossible decision to leave everything behind in order to heal - or choose to stay in the depths of what they've always known. The only way out is through.

In this heartfelt memoir, Jade Miller tells the true story of what it was like to spend those formative years in a religious cult. She bravely recounts her experience through the innocent lens of a tumultuous childhood, the painful pubescent years, and the horrific awakening that came to her as a grown woman and mother. Her unflinching detail of the abuse and trauma she endured paints a breathtaking portrait of a girl who was forced to live outside of herself to survive. As events continued to escalate over decades of distress, Jade eventually hit a breaking point and couldn't stifle her true self any longer. She has gathered and reconnected the pieces she lost to become wonderfully whole once again, ready to share her story in the hopes of guiding others to their freedom.

The Outside Girl is a tender and shocking account of complex trauma that will inspire readers everywhere to trust their intuition and believe in themselves at all cost.
