Publisher's Summary
When Alice Greczyn's parents felt called by God to exchange worldly employment for heavenly provision, they followed their faith into homelessness with five children and a cat in tow. Homeschooled and avowed never to kiss a man until her wedding day, Alice had plans to escape the instability by becoming a missionary nurse—plans that were put on hold with the opening of an unexpected door: the opportunity to be an actress in Hollywood. What followed was a test of faith unlike any she had prepared for, an arranged betrothal she never saw coming, and a psychological shattering that forced her to learn how to survive without the only framework for life she had ever known.
This unique coming-of-age story takes place within a Christian subculture that teaches children to be martyrs and women to be silent. Revelatory, vulnerable, and offering catharsis for your own journey through faith and doubt, Wayward is a deeply intelligent memoir of soul-searching—and finding the courage to live in your own truth.

Absolutely brilliant. A breath of fresh air.
Raw. Brave. Brutally and unashamedly honest. Beautifully written.
I could relate to so very much of this memoir of a “good” Christian girl finding true freedom through deconversion. I’ve never heard anyone say these things out loud & it gives me hope that I too can find healing from Religious Trauma Syndrome.
The narration by Alice is the best I’ve heard.
Thank you for writing this, Alice - you have no idea how much this can help so many people!
Highly recommend.
