Dundee author Mary Rosenberger grew up in Freedom Village USA, which claimed to be a Christian home for troubled teens on Seneca Lake. Through its atmosphere of fear and controlling leader, Mary suffered spiritual abuse and came to see Freedom Village for what it was: a religious cult, though full of well-meaning followers. Ask Mary anything about her unique inner-circle story from her family's thirty-year staff residency and eventual exodus from Freedom Village.

Mary first documented her upbringing in a religious cult—and her eventual escape from its grasp—on her blog, Out from the Inside. "Freedom Village: A Memoir" is an IngramSpark Top 10 Best-Seller and Mary's first book.

Join Mary as she returns to the Dundee Library for a reading from her memoir, book signing, and ask-me-anything Q&A session from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 7. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
