Finished reading Unfollow: A Journey from Hatred to Hope by Megan Phelps-Roper.

In this memoir, she documents her journey from being raised in her family's Westboro Baptist Church, a cult-like hate group, to leaving and changing her mind profoundly on their beliefs.

This was so much more than a simple girl-leaves-cult story; I found it very profound and emotive.

This TED talk by Megan Phelps-Roper is a truly inspirational tale of one woman's escape from the Westboro Baptist Church after a childhood of being indoctrinated by hateful bigotry in the name of their warped version of righteousness.

She raises some very important points about how we engage with others and how to approach different points of view that we often lose sight of.
