Sarah Caton, a young preacher’s daughter growing up in a small Mormon town in Utah is beginning to doubt her faith. Highly observant, and stubborn, Sarah tends to see and point out inconsistencies which keeps getting her in trouble, especially in church. But ultimately, the very traits she thinks will be her downfall are what lead to her starting the deconstruction process.
By following her own truth, she fears losing her family and entire community. She struggles with the decision to leave behind the religious abuse and control only to find domestic abuse waiting for her on the other side. Will she find the courage to stand up for herself, or will she once again submit to her patriarchal authority figure? Interwoven with humor, poignant memories, and vivid recollections, this is one girl’s journey from compliant convert to doubting “exvangelical." - the description from Caton's memoir "Deconstructing: Memoir of a Preacher's Daughter."
