Ex Jehovah’s Witness Releases Memoir About Her Recovery From Abuse And A Religious Cult

DENVER - April 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Ex Jehovah’s Witness Releases Memoir About Her Recovery From Abuse And A Religious Cult

Ex Jehovah's Witness and author, Jenny Hayworth is pleased to announce the release of her memoir, Inside/Outside: One Woman's Recovery from Abuse and a Religious Cult.

Jenny Hayworth grew up within the construct of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, which she describes as a fundamentalist, cult-like religion. She devoted her life to it for over thirty years. Then she left it. The church “unfellowshipped” her—rendered her dead to those family and friends still committed to the church.

Hayworth is a sexual abuse survivor. The trauma changed her self-perception, emotional development, trust, and every interaction with the world.

Inside/Outside is her exploration of sexual abuse, religious fundamentalism, and recovery. Her childhood circumstances and tragedies forced her to live “inside.” This memoir chronicles her journey from experiencing comfort and emotional satisfaction only within her own fantasy world to developing the ability to feel and express real life emotion on the outside.

“Anyone who has ever battled with an eating disorder, experienced sexual and/or spiritual abuse, been rejected by their family, been suicidal and felt alone and in need of a lifeline, should find inspiration and encouragement in my story,” says Jenny. Her journey of recovery took a period of six years. After losing everything she thought was important to her, she has gained more than she ever could have imagined.

Inside/Outside is available in both print and ebook format.
