Rebecca grew up in Oklahoma as part of a Gothardism cult, which she escaped aged 16. Rebecca shares how her family joined the cult, what life was like in the cult, homeschooling and how she planned her escape. She details the layers of control that led to physical and mental abuse of children in the cult and why she knew she needed to leave. Rebecca’s experience of purity culture led to her writing her first book, the Scarlet Virgins, a memoir about having grown up in a legalistic religious cult. Rebecca has retired from non-fiction and now spends her free hours writing her science fantasy series, Geneshifters.
