Wayward
The Glass Castle meets Educated 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.

Summary of Alice Greczyn's Wayward
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I took my faith very seriously, and I was taught how to wage spiritual warfare at a young age. I understood being a Christian was a grave matter. #2 I was seven years old when I first questioned God’s goodness. I was sitting in a Baptist church when the pastor told the story of how his two-year-old daughter had suffocated to death in a dry-cleaning bag. God allowed this to happen, but didn’t explain why. #3 My family was part of a nondenominational church called Vine City Fellowship, which practiced certain traditions of Judaism while believing Jesus to be the Messiah. We allowed the Holy Spirit to guide our services, and we celebrated Christian holidays and Jewish holy days. #4 I had been taking figure skating lessons since I was four, and I enjoyed it. I had two best friends, Danika Muller and Bethany Andersen, who also went to Vine City. I enjoyed going to their houses because their moms made the best sunny-side-up eggs.
