Publisher Description:

Recovering from Religious Trauma: A True Story of Leaving Home to Finally Discover Self Acceptance

Beyond The Watchtower is a powerful memoir about trauma recovery and finding faith after years of religious control. This is more than just a story of breaking free; it’s an inspiring true story of one woman’s journey through dysfunctional family dynamics and healing from family trauma.

Growing up under the strict influence of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Sarah Schoolcraft faced unimaginable challenges as she navigated a childhood dominated by religious and family expectations. As a young girl, she was taught to obey, follow, and conform—her life carefully controlled by doctrines that left little room for personal exploration. But as Sarah grew older, questions began to arise that challenged her deeply ingrained beliefs and forced her to confront what was missing in her life: a sense of self.
