In the heart of America's most infamous church, the Westboro Baptist Church, Megan Phelps-Roper was nurtured on a diet of extreme beliefs, from picketing soldiers' funerals with messages of hate to vehemently opposing homosexuality and other religions. "Unfollow" is the riveting account of Megan's journey, beginning as a loyal enforcer of her church's polarizing doctrines, disseminating their messages through powerful social media campaigns, and growing up under the watchful eyes of a community that stood at the very edge of societal norms. Yet, beneath the surface of public condemnation and the strictures of her upbringing, Megan harbored doubts that whispered of a world beyond the black-and-white morality drilled into her. This profound memoir unfolds the transformative journey of a woman who dared to question the convictions she was born into, leading to a dramatic departure from her church and family at twenty-six. "Unfollow" delves deep into the heart of extremism, the pain of severance, and the redemption found in the embrace of empathy and understanding. Megan Phelps-Roper's story is a testament to the power of change, offering an intimate look into a closed community and the resilience required to both leave and love beyond its borders. It is a compelling narrative of finding compassion in a world that seemed utterly devoid of it, challenging readers to confront their own beliefs and the possibility of change within themselves.
