Review Quotes: "One of the bravest, most achingly honest books I've read in years. Leaving the Saints is a priceless gift." --Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger
"Few have such fascinating tales--or the literary chops and emotional range with which to tell them--as Martha Beck. . . . That Beck can write so eloquently about [her break from the church] without bitterness is a gift worth its weight in gold plates." --Ralph Frammolino, Los Angeles Times "Trying to get your truth out against a wall of resistance? Looking for a spiritual bonus in the struggle? Your struggle is Beck's, and Leaving the Saints tells it consolingly well." --Detroit News and Free Press
