Finding Sunlight

A Coming-Of-Age Memoir about Love Within the Wreckage of Purity Culture

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"In this inspirational coming-of-age memoir, Chrissy Holm separates purity culture, LGBTQ religious trauma, and a patriarchal father-daughter relationship from all the possibilities of meaningful love. The church has a lot of views on women's relationships. Respect the sanctity of marriage. Save yourself for your husband. Never, ever think about a wife. Homeschooled at church and raised by a devout father, Chrissy internalized scripture's strictest messages. She suppressed her bisexuality and followed all the teachings of purity culture. When she turned sixteen, her parent's divorce flipped the script. Devastated and unsure of her values, Chrissy jumped from one relationship to another, searching for commitment and solace from a depression that crept more to the forefront every day... Chrissy Holm thoughtfully unpacks her sexuality, faith, and mental health with achingly relatable vulnerability and insight."--Amazon.com.
