I found this piece powerful. I left my world and immersed

in yours, which happens with great writing.

So much insight into your childhood and how it shaped you. More seems to be shared about Em's religious & spiritual evolution than your own, however. Might be a path worth exploring.

You just reminded me to add the note about this being an excerpt from the memoir-in-process. You're absolutely right that this piece doesn't really explore my own journey through organized religion. Definitely will get into that elsewhere!

This piece made me weep. You were such a sweet, cute kid, and sorry you needed to hold an escape plan to make it through. Thanks for sharing.
