In this memoir, Candace Sinclair pulls back the curtain on her marriage to a man who cloaked control in charm, faith and spiritual authority. What began as intoxicating love bombing quickly spiraled into gaslighting, betrayal and emotional abuse reinforced by an institution that chose silence over protection. Through raw storytelling and unflinching honesty, Candace takes listeners on her journey from devotion to disillusionment, and ultimately, to healing. More than a personal story, this book speaks to countless women who have been manipulated, silenced, or made to doubt their worth.
