Description

In a thoughtful, moving, and ultimately inspiring memoir, bestselling author Martha Beck chronicles her difficult decision to leave behind her Mormon childhood and upbringing, and reveals her lifetime struggle to overcome a dark secret buried in her childhood. While growing up within the Mormon Church, Martha Beck was raised in a home frequented by the Church’s high elders and her existence was framed by their strict code of conduct. When her son was born with Down syndrome, she and her husband left their graduate programmes at Harvard to return to Provo, Utah, and the supportive Mormon community of Martha’s youth. But after Martha began teaching at Brigham Young University, she saw at first hand the Church’s ruthlessness as it silenced dissidents and masked truths that contradicted its beliefs. Most troubling of all, Martha was jolted into recovering memories of sexual abuse at the hands of one of the Church’s most respected leaders. Filled with great insight and Martha Beck’s celebrated humour and entertaining wit, Leaving the Saints is an unforgettable autobiography that offers a rare glimpse inside one of the world’s most secretive religions while telling a profoundly moving story of personal courage, survival, and the transformative power of spirituality

Review

'One of the bravest, most achingly honest books I've read in years.' Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger.

'Leaving the Saints is a brave book. Martha Beck shares her journey out of religion and into faith and healing with heartbreaking candor, softened by wit and uplifted by a deep spiritual longing.' Sharon Salzberg, author of Faith: Trusting Your Own Deepest Experience
