Freedom Village: A Memoir

She was born into a religious community that ran a troubled teen program—dare we call it a cult?—where she lived until she was twenty-four. Mary Rosenberger reckons with her faith following decades of emotional and spiritual abuse under her pastor’s regime at Freedom Village USA.

Rosenberger’s debut is a daring, vulnerable story of both light and darkness, inviting readers along in the relentless pursuit of healing and freedom.
