  • "The author describes growing up within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, her public criticism of the church, and her difficult decision to leave the Mormon church to pursue her own search for spirituality."
  • "Martha Beck reveals what her life was like and her shattering secret that led to her reevaluation of her life and her faith."@en
  • "Martha Beck has already gained acclaim as a monthly contributor to O, The Oprah Magazine and as a frequent guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. But if you're not yet familiar with this enigmatic, inspiring woman, now is your chance to hear her incredible story. In this riveting new memoir, Martha reveals what her life was like as a member of the Latter Day Saints -- the Mormons -- and the soul-shattering secret that led her to reevaluate her life and her faith."
  • "A memoir of one woman's spiritual quest and journey toward faith. As "Mormon royalty," Beck was raised in a home frequented by the Church's high elders, and her existence was framed by their strict code of conduct. However, soon after Martha began teaching at Brigham Young University, she began to see firsthand the Church's ruthlessness as it silenced dissidents and masked truths that contradicted its published beliefs. Most troubling of all, she was forced to face her history of sexual abuse by one of the Church's most prominent authorities. This book chronicles her difficult decision to sever her relationship with the faith that had cradled her for so long, and to confront and forgive the person who betrayed her so deeply.--Publisher."@en
