Just finished your audiobook. Wow!! Just WOW! Congratulations Sarah. Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of so many. Today, while cleaning house in preparation for my mother’s visit for Easter services at my Presbyterian church, I cried, not for the trauma I suffered or relationships lost, but for “what might have been” had your childhood faith allowed you to have a relationship with Ernie, your grandfather’s longtime partner. Thanks again!

I’ve been reading this Substack, watching you “birth” this book for the past couple of years, so it’s great to see that it has a message that resonates with so many people. Congratulations!

Just wanted to thank you for writing this book! It brought clarity to all the doubts and questions I have had in my own evangelical experience, and opened my eyes to the community of others having similar experiences. I had a similar childhood upbringing to your own in a fundamentalist evangelical framework, and have struggled with many of the same challenges. I am just beginning my own deconstruction journey, and this book was so timely for me and has helped me more than you can ever know. Thank you so much.

Your "first book", meaning there's another book coming?
