Many of us, hoodwinked since childhood, become driven to discover the truth. We're so over the BS! We sprint forward – often times ignorant to the enormity of the fallout for doing so.Alaine carried on. She kept asking the questions and fought hard to find honest answers. Still working through the afte...

Bess is in her mid 20s. She lives in a small rural Pennsylvania town. As you'd expect, she's been surrounded by conservative christians as far as the eye can see for the entirety of her life.

Sure, she made attempts to fit in, but as a young teen, Bess determined she could no longer pretend to be someone...
