The book deals with the personal story Brenda Lee whose parents joined the
Jehovah's Witnesses. She experienced difficulty with the very high religious
demands placed on her and her family by the Witnesses which ultimately led to
her parents shunning (disowning) her. The author writes:
"Brenda emerges from her cocoon and struggles to take flight. As she
tries to fit into society as a young adult, she learns some startling things
about her family, this 'wicked world,' and herself. In time, she learns to
forgive not only those who tormented her, but also the mother who disowned
her."

Historical information:
There seem to be relatively few WWW sites maintained by Jehovah's Witnesses. The
group
has apparently restricted Internet participation by its members (ref. Kingdom Ministry,
1995-SEP).

Anti-WTS information resources, blogs and forums:
There are many WWW sites established by ex-Jehovah's Witnesses or non-Jehovah's
