As Rebecca Stott's father lay dying he begged her to help him write a memoir. He wanted to tell the story of their family, who, for generations had all been members of a fundamentalist Christian sect. Rebecca was born into the sect, yet, as an intelligent, inquiring child she was always asking dangerous questions. She would discover that her father, an influential preacher, had been asking them too, and that the fault-line between faith and doubt had almost engulfed him. An enthralling family memoir of growing up in, and breaking away from, a fundamentalist Christian cult, written by novelist and historian Rebecca Stott.
