Cast Out:  How I Lost My Religion and Found Spiritual Grace

 

This forthcoming book by Linda Curtis is a memoir about leaving home, breaking free from a narrow worldview and a cult-like religion at tremendous personal cost, and striking out alone to find happiness and authentic spirituality.

 

Advance Praise for Cast Out:

“You can't read Cast Out by Linda Curtis, about losing her faith and then disfellowshipped by her church and shunned by her family, without realizing that her story is, writ large, the primal story of leaving home, in which you can't become yourself without betraying your family. A wonderful book that is about so much more than the Jehovah Witnesses.”
Adair Lara, long-time columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and author of Hold Me Close, Let Me Go

“This is an unforgettable story from a brave and beautiful woman, who has turned her tragic experience of being shunned into an inspiring opportunity to create and claim a life of integrity, joy, and purpose. Linda’s capacity to communicate her wrenching and ultimately triumphant process is simply extraordinary.   Her pain and grief, courage and compassion, strength and insight, will deeply touch every reader and have them rethink who they are and what they stand for.  This is a riveting story, a page-turner, a magnificent contribution, and a book you will never forget.”
Lynne Twist, global activist and author of The Soul of Money

“What a pleasure to journey with Linda Curtis in her brave, captivating story of really growing up all the way.  I read this book deep into the night and picked it up in the morning, unable to turn away from the unfolding adventure of a young woman determined to live a true life.”
Sherry Ruth Anderson, co-author, The Feminine Face of God; The Cultural Creatives
