I Belong to Me

Available from Nook & Cranny Books when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

What does it mean to heal from trauma caused by the people, beliefs, and practices of your faith? Indoctrinated from early childhood to obey, conform, and want what others wanted for her, Tia Levings learned love and acceptance meant being someone other than herself. After years of abuse in a violent marriage and high-control religion, Tia Levings escaped with her children (a story told in her memoir, A Well-Trained Wife ) and thought the hardest was behind her. But that was just the beginning.
