a Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church
Feb 04, 2020Jtulsa rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
I thought this book was well written. I used to live in Kansas and have relatives who live in Topeka (home of the Westboro church) and Lawrence. I am familiar with their hate speech and wondered why they believed that way and why did Megan leave the church and her family. They are of the fundamentalist ( and are extremist) Baptist faith. The last chapter of this book is why I gave the book a 5 rating. Megan writes about her insights and conclusions to that way of living that really pertains to any hate group. You wouldnt expect such a group to be as educated as her family is.
