Rising from the Ashes of Jehovah's Witnesses

Isis Allthings felt numb as she gripped the arms of her airline seat. She was catapulting herself and her four-year-old daughter into the unknown, away from her religion, five-year marriage, and the country she had settled in, Bavaria. At age thirty-two, Isis was on a courageous journey to begin a new life in her native country, England, where she rebelled against every belief and lie she had been taught since childhood. In a compelling true story, Isis leads others into her past as she analyses the vulnerability that led to her mother's recruitment into the Jehovah's Witnesses. After describing her own absorption into this secretive organization at the age of ten and subsequent life as a full-time minister, she divulges how personal sacrifices eventually led to her hard-won freedom as a free spirit.
