Adopted as a baby and raised by a devout Jehovah's Witness family,
Joy Castro is constantly reminded to tell the truth no matter what
the consequences. Nevertheless, Castro finds this tenet to be the
most violated. Here, in her very own Truth Book, Castro bears
witness to a childhood lost but a life regained. Castro's parents
divorce after her father is excommunicated for smoking. She is
twelve when her mother marries a "brother" in the church who,
though exhibiting an impeccable public persona, is violent and
controlling at home. For two years, Joy does not grow at all; in
fact, she loses sixteen pounds in response to the physical,
emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse she suffers at his
hands. Her battered mother does nothing to protect her, nor does
her church. She is sustained by humor, books, and her protective
love for her younger brother until their daring escape. This
courageous personal account looks freshly at the disturbing effects
of religious hypocrisy and the resilience of the human spirit.
