An unbelievable journey through the life of Megan Phelps-Roper, former member of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church. This is a riveting, incredibly honest, heartfelt and truly sad. It is also full of hope. Megan is a brave soul whose desire to be held accountable for her past cruelties as well as her strong will to change and find a new path through kindness, education and truth, are something very strong to read about. This is a great read, told with a real unbridled commitment to bring true. Kudos.… (mer)

I think this is such an important read if you want to understand how we can support and encourage people to leave abusive situations; not with judgement and hate, but with love and patience.… (mer)
